Back
We arrived back in Spain on Sunday afternoon, flying in to Madrid over an extensive snow cover (which closed the airport for five hours on Friday leading to English levels of approbation for the airport). Then the metro to catch the train to Asturias. We had tourist class seats (rather than first class) but the legroom is UK first so there’s a good argument for doing the train thing here rather than in the UK. The train gets up to 200kph as it goes north until it hits the mountains between Leon and Asturias where it has to be a bit slower.
Skiing was a hoot, thanks to everyone who went, and especially to Anne for organising it. I was a wuss and stuck to easy pistes to avoid giving my knee too many problems. It was fine, largely due to the excellent snow, soft but not heavy. Liz did ski school and by the end of the week was bombing down the blues (having been led down a few reds and a black by the instructor).
