Ski Trip to Kitzbuhel - First Few days

Welcome to the EC Blog of College trips

We have a fair few coming up so I thought this would be a good way for parents and anyone who is interested to keep up with what is happening during any trips out.

Day 1 of the trip.

Everyone got to EC on time, except for Mr Thompson who had a slight passport mishap. However this did mean that all the rest of the staff could pick on him for the rest of the trip.

When we arrived at Abu Dhabi airport Mrs Kendry was informed that unfortunately because the flight had been overbooked, three of the staff would have to be upgraded to business class. Mr Thompson was of course designated as being one of the staff to remain behind and keep control in rear. Of course, being a 1.55am flight, this meant listening to the snoring of 49 students. Mrs Kendry spent most of the time, practicing to be an air stewardess by walking up and down the isles making sure everyone was happy. Leigh Linsale decided this was the time to have an allergic reaction to something making her very blotchy and causing the captain to have to venture out of his cockpit and investigate and administer anti-histamine from his own supply.

While Mrs Kendry and Mr Thompson had a difficult night, Mr Tainsh and Miss Watson were sleeping comfortably on the fully reclining chairs of business class.

Arrival at Kitzbuhl

Bus from Munich to Kitzbuhel - double decker luxury transport. Very quiet apart from the refreshed Mr Tainsh playing his PSP all the way.

Arrived at the hotel which is in a pretty little village. Weather stunning with lots of sun and great views of the snowy mountains. After putting everyone into their rooms we went off to the ski shop next door and got kitted out with kit. Lunch and immediately off to the nursury slopes in the afternoon to get everyone in groups and then head back to the hotel for an early night.

Most people were asleep by 8.30pm - including Mr Tainsh
