So.... 24 hours in and now I see the entire attraction of this place. A little old and quaint, relatively small area if you are a big run skier/rider (as I am) and a few too many kids. However it works perfectly, and I mean perfectly.
Lets start at breakfast...
Best view by which I have ever eaten a pancake smothered in honey....
....or any other breakfast related consumable.
Aforementioned pancake
Seriously, up at 5.30am, long bath down for some dawn photo's and then an 8am feed.
Dawn
Delicious and copious coffee, joghurt, 2 croissants with salted butter and jam, the best scrambled eggs and toast followed by pancakes and hot pouring honey...yum!!
Hmmmmm?!??!
A quick reccie on the higher part of the resort this morning, don't ask me how.
Firstly, it's bloody steep
Secondly, it's bloody stunning
Thirdly, it's got some history
All helped along with a nice Chilean beer :D
So, it's now five to three and I have just finished a lunch of clam chowder, followed by grilled hake with shallotts and new potatos, and a coconut tart with homemade icecream and toffee sauce. Complimented bueatifully with a large glass of Argintean Merlot, and washed down with superb coffee.
The reason this place is so popular considering the relatively small area is that there is no time to ski/ride as they are too busy feeding you, even beer comes with a rowing boat full of complimentary nuts and nibbles )
Off to scope the lower part of the resort!!!
