Luging

Hello Everyone,

Saturday morning was a perfect sunny day and we decided to drive up Mt Ventoux to do some tobogganing. We drove around all the windy roads and finally arrived at the ski hut. There was a very slippery, icy road going down to all the ski slopes and ski shops. We were driving down slowly but our car stopped responding to all of Dad's actions! We started sliding down the ice, out of control and finally crashed into a car!! I was so scared! Luckily no one got hurt. We got out of the car and while Mum and Dad organised everything Sean and I hired some toboggans and tobogganed down a slope.

It was fun because Sean and I tied our sleds together and the back person was the break and the front person was the steerer. It was fun because if the front person even touched the steering, the whole steering would turn into a break and the front would suddenly stop and the back would bump into it. Then we would have to walk back up the hill laughing and falling over.

When we got too cold to go on we went to a cafe and ate a Nutella crepe and had a hot chocolate with marshmallows. We went outside to go home, but all day people were having troubles trying to get up the icy hill. So we dug out our show-7's ('chausettes' - a sock thing that you put over the tyres) and we got up the hill and drove home.

That night we went to my friend Claire's house for dinner. For dinner we had a raw salmon entree, a duck main and a Toblerone mousse for desert. It was very yum. Claire and I played in her bedroom and on the wii console. Claire also has a cat called Scarlette, so we also played with her. I had great fun!
Au Revoir!
