Kid's corner

The trip started with a long ride on the train. We left Brussels around 22:15, to arrive in Zell am See around 12:15, the next day. Elias had been on a train before, but never for such a long time. We had booked sleeping places, 6 of them to be exact, which neatly fills up a single cabin. The first difficulty was getting all our bags inside. Nathan had his bugaboo with him, plus the accompanying bag, we had two Samsonite trolleys and a large backpack, and a small backpack with my powerbook and thesis (yes, I planned on doing some work).

Elias had been on skis for three days now, and he is doing awesomely! We had hoped it would be ok, but he's really into it all. He did not let go of his ski glasses the first day, and nearly snatched his helmet along when the school was finished, instead of leaving it at the locker. Anyway, a longer update will follow later, but let it suffice to say that he is enjoying himself immensely. Time to start saving money for next year's trip.
