SCHOOL SKI TRIP

On the 19th of February 2017, we set off bright and early at 03:00 in the
morning. It was very quiet on the way up to the airport since we were
all so tired. By the time we got to the airport everyone was chatting and
praying that they wouldn’t break a leg.

Our flight left Dublin at around 05:00. We were on the plane for around
two hours. We landed at Barcelona at around 07:00 and the weather
was beautiful and not a cloud to be seen. We then got on the bus up
to Andorra and we saw some amazing sites and mountains. We arrived
at Andorra at 2:00pm and we got checked into the hotel. Having been
given our rooms and time to unpack we headed up to get kitted out in
the ski gear - the craic was great.
After dinner we chilled for the evening, everyone hung out together
which was lots of fun.

After breakfast the next morning, it was the moment we were all dying
for - time to hit the slopes. It took some of the guys (including me)
longer to get the hang of the skiing (and stopping!) We were then put
into groups, and our coach taught us the basics. We spent the day on
the slopes and it was the best laugh ever.

Each day started brilliantly …… and went downhill from there !!!!!!!!!!!!
