Apologies for not posting in such a long time. We have been ridiculously busy. On Saturday we caught the train to Victoria Station where we jumped onto a bus, 22 hours later we jumped back off in Val d'Isere, France for our training week. The train journey went surprisingly fast, A and I were quite anti social and did a lot of sleeping. A made me watch the 2nd Twilight movie... It was shit. So shit. Nothing happened in it. There was lots of moaning and a couple of wolves who I suppose were cool but my god, what a long, boring film! It did make me sleepy though...every cloud!
The first day was basically spent meeting everybody else, moving into our rooms and getting settled. There were 13 of us in total. One of the first people we met was a young 18 year old lad fresh out of school. He is brilliant. On the first night he woke up at 3 in the morning and got everyone else up to start cooking the breakfast because he thought it was 7. Throughout the week he has continually solidified his role as the baby of the group but on Wednesday night he drunkenly told me that he is not happy with this title and would prefer to be known as the 'ladies man'.
There is also a girl from Essex who tells many stories that end in the word 'DISGUSTING'. She is great value for money and says some horrendous things, all in good fun though. The other night she lowered the tone of a harmless dance off by miming an indecent act on one of the other guys here when he bent over on the dance floor.
Yesterday we finally arrived in the resort we will be working in for the rest of the season and moved into our accommodation. It's very nice, A shares with 3 girls next door and has
a spare room and a nice kitchen. I am sharing with the token Welsh man and another guy, both are very cool, we've got a good living room. The Welsh chap is from Barry Island so there has been a bit of Gavin and Stacey banter. Everything is infinitely more enjoyable when said in a Welsh accent.
First guests arrive in a weeks time, this week will be spend cleaning the chalet and doing an inventory. Also hitting the town for a few beers hopefully. Last night we hit the town, it was a lot of fun but it could end up being pretty expensive as we live a little way away and have to get a taxi home. We made friends with the driver though (somehow spent the whole journey trying to describe to him what banana boating was, he seemed very confused) and plan to bribe him with cakes and other delightful treats as the season goes on.
That is all I have time for for now. We're off for dinner at one of the larger chalets and then heading out for a few beers. Hopefully will be able to update more regularly after guests arrive and we get in the swing of things but for now.. a plus don la bus.
