I've only been back three days and I'm green with envy :evil: :evil:

That's how I was feeling last week when you posted from the airport. Four weeks seemed so far away, now it's omly two weeks and five days...much better :lol:

Not many people who can say they were once arrested for espionage!

What are the chances of there still being enough good snow in April? Any ideas :?: I've got a week off 11th April and was thinking about trying to get away, but hey if there was still good snow up north, I would consider that as an option even just Mon - Fri.

I must say I'm tempted, i've still got another week off work when I get back on the 12th. The inn that pablo recommended looks really good too.

I'm a bit sensitive about the whole issue of photographing/videoing foreigners in their native country.

When I was only 18 (1979) I got arrested as a spy in Zambia for photographing a Zambian woman carrying a suitcase on her head (interesting modern adaptation of traditional customs I thought to myself). The real issue was that she was standing outside a railway station, and at the time there was a very high risk of guerilla bombings with favourite targets being railway stations and post offices.

Anyway, I thought I was going to be shot, because they were all armed, and yelling at me about how I was a spy, and I couldn't possibly prove I wasn't. And they took me away and hustled me off to see their commanding officer.

So, if I ever photograph or video any of our holiday I will stick to photos of the snow etc.

Not that I think there was any real danger of Ian being shot for his video, but as I said I am pretty sensitive about this matter. And I thought it was a great video.

:shock: Mistaken for a spy... now that's an interesting story. Who saved you?

Is that question directed at me eljay, or is that what you think they might have been thinking about Ian?

Just me being my usual cheeky self..........it was when you said[b] himslef talking......thought you might be slurring your words :lol: :lol:

I hadn't even noticed that...hahaha. Guilty of a few too many last night I'm afraid. Tonight chocolate's the only vice.
