Raw In The Alps

Exercise: Escalators
Food: Loads of bananas! in the morning, late afternoon green salad with peppers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, late evening big banana smoothie with Dr Martin's (viable) Coco milk

Hellooo, it's been a while! I have been skiing the past few days away in the French Alps!!! It was absolute bliss being 'in' the great outdoors, standing on those beautiful mountains, FRESH AIR!! Made progress with the skiing too. Day 1 was rain non-stop but didn't fall once. Day 2 was incredibly sunny and dry, fell three times! Day 3 was again sunny and my breakthrough day, feeling fearless and Day 4 was consolidation, and snowy, windy, rainy and very cold!

Asked in advance for raw meals. And the lovely chef, John and his wife Jacqui did us proud, we had raw soups, salads, fruit and smoothies. My all time favourite was the Mayan salad with mixed leaves, tomatoes, avocado, citrus fruit and a lovely dressing. The citrus and the avocado together were divine. So the first ski company ever to cater for rawies! http://www.karibuni.co.uk/

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Only slight con was that it was the end of the season and because there was a lot of packing up, vacuuming and cleaning going on, you did feel a bit in the way despite being a guest.

Was also able to buy raw nuts and dates from the local 8 to 8 store. And found a cute produce shop with the whole gamut of fruit and veg, nuts and dried fruit. Really I don't think there has been a better time to be alive in history to enjoy the earth's bounty. Well that's what I think, except maybe for the Garden of Eden!
