We tiredly awoke to our 5am wake up call and, yet again, the late bloomers took their time to get to the diner for yet another watered down, flavourless breakfast of hash browns and spaghetti.
We then jumped on our bus to cross the border, back into NSW, for the long trek to the snow. We had a minor comfort stop for the ladies, before our designated stop at Cooma to collect our gear.
Our day was filled with many events by pretty much everyone varying from Mrs. Parkinson refusing to ski after only putting on one ski and failing to keep her balance, to Samantha and Lihying falling over on the ‘magic carpet’ and Rebecca Papa failing to keep up with her group due to her many stacks. We thought she’d take out the award for the worlds most amount of stacks in ten minutes.
We can’t leave out Amy Stephens stack at 100km/hour, she definitely had to take out the ‘stack of the day’, with her brother, Daniel, not far behind her, as he failed to come to a stop resulting in injuries and a broken ski rod.
Mr Barrett thoroughly enjoyed Alec Kickett’s skiing spectacular show. He struggled to describe the event as he was laughing so much. It was poetry in motion – the length of the entire slope. 10/10 for flexibility.
But then, of course, Edin and Valmir showed everyone up with their pro skiing skills. They were enjoying themselves so much they forgot to have lunch, whereas others chucked in the towel early to sit in the café for at least ONE good lunch.
Departing the snow fields, with tomato faces, most people were cold and wet, just wanting to get in the warmth of Rod’s bus, leaving the boys to pack up the gear.
After a long journey back, most of us tired after a long days work, there were many sleeping beauties, whilst others couldn’t get to sleep due to injuries from their wonderful day on the snow field. Even Mr Barrett managed to do his knee.
Arriving back at the dorms to yet another delicious dinner..not joking at all, Cody I got his birthday sparkler surprise from the kitchen crew, consisting of probably the only thing they’ve served that’s half decent, chocolate cake.
And to end the night, Mr Barrett had a good old laugh at Mrs Downing and her misleading scarf.
We are all about to head off to our last meeting before we start frantically packing for our last day of the Canberra 09 tour.
P.S. Mr Sykes, mystery man……….reveal yourself..

Parky on one ski! I'd like to see that. Looks like like fun was had by all. No broken bones - a successful day skiing.
ReplyDeleteI'll hear some of your stories on Monday. Enjoy your flight home and your big sleep in on Saturday.
Thanks for the updates.
I hope some students were taking video footage! It would be good for a little presentation when you guys get back.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy what's left of the trip and have a safe flight back.
P.S- nice nails Barrett, the girls did a lovely job. Shame they forgot about the makeup!
