More sun and more skiing

Today was another beautiful sunny day, and I decided that while the others skied towards Folgarida, I would attempt to book myself another ski lesson. This was slightly complicated because I wanted to book a morning lesson so I needed to stroll down to the Ski School office to book it in person. Luckily this did not take long because Madonna di Campiglia is quite small as well as very pretty, and surprisingly quickly I was at the top of the Pradalago lift where I skied my favourite run number 50 with its nearby variations several times. I decided that I wanted to get my sunglasses so I went back to the hotel briefly, and was still in plenty of time to meet my ski instructor at the bottom of the Fortini lift at midday. It was not Andrea this time, it was Sergio, who was very pleasant and asked me what I wanted to work on. I told him about yesterday’s lesson on balance so we did some more practice on the same lines and it was great. By the end of the lesson my legs felt quite tired and my right knee was twinging a bit, so I headed back to the hotel for a rest and to read my book. I made the mistake of lying down on the bed to read, so of course I fell asleep almost immediately and slept for an hour! Oh well I must have needed it! Meanwhile James, Heather and Ewan were having a great day too; they explored more areas of the resort and skied for 30 kilometres. 
When they returned to the resort we all went for a drink to Bar Dolomiti again, it’s such an attractive wee place. Then James and I went for a companionable stroll around the village before another tasty dinner and fun evening in great company.
