The race on the weekend was once again not the greatest...I finished 33rd thanks to my touches and loosing some time. Luuka was the only one to make the Semis and finished in 20th.
We then ventured across Slovenia and half way through Italy, until the Van came to stop at a gas station, 120km from Milan. Unfortunately it had come to the end of its time on the roads. It wouldn't start again. So we had no choice but to hitch to Milan to get a rental car. It was pretty sad leaving the van but was time to move on. So we convoyed our way to Bourg St. Mourice in France with our mates Cieran and Nouria. Bourg is a town in the French Alps that is in the valley of some of the best skifields in the world! Soooo beautiful! The river here is massive and really fun to paddle. This is definately one of my favourite places in Europe. You can almost ski all yr round too because it is so high up here. AWESOME!!! We are staying here with Cieran at his parents place, it is a beautiful wooden villa!!!They are looking after us Kiwis super well:)
Tommorrow we will go for another paddle here in Bourg and then head for Spain to begin our lead up for the Worlds!Less than 3weeks!
Some pics of the van...many memories...it served us well for the 5months it lasted!
