Top 10 Ski Areas for Self Catered Ski Holidays

Posted in Best Recreation Resources, Best Travel Resources

When booking a ski holiday the pick of French ski area can be sometimes confusing. Notably whilst attempting to find a alpine resort good for self catered skiing holidays. Luckily we’ve made a list of the top ski resorts most suitable for self catered skiing holidays:

Les Trois Vallees, La Clusaz, Montgenevre, Les Deux Alpes, Grand Massif, Gourette, Les Menuires, Luz Ardiden, Savoie, Flaine.

Jonathan Mcmullen from Iraq is a Chemical Operator II, I quizzed him about his first choice ski field. Unsurprisingly he picked Brevent a French skiing field renowned for its choice of self catering chalets.

Why do you prefer self catered ski holidays over the normal choice of a b&b?

Personally I relish the choice which self catering skiing holidays offer. The luxury ski chalet is nearly always outstanding and in place of the unexciting food in hotel I can cook an excellent dinner.

What about if you’re not a good cook?

If that were the case you simply visit a local pub.

Well then do you have some good recommendations for us?

Without doubt it’s Gallaghers Sports Bar run by RAFIKI and it’s olive garden shrimp cristoforo is a must.

So if you’re interested in self catering skiing holidays then why not consider one of skiing area on French alpine our list.

Where Can I Buy Tickets for the UK Lotto?

Posted in Best Recreation Resources, Lady Luck's Lair, Playing Games

I have just seen that there is a really big jackpot for the UK lotto right now, and I am thinking that maybe I should give in and buy a ticket. I usually don’t gamble at all because I have found that I don’t ever seem to win. I am just not one of those lucky people. However, with a chance to win that much money it might be worth it to play and see if my luck might change. Where can I buy tickets for the UK lotto? And when do the UK lotto results come out so I can see if I won?

I am considering starting to play the UK lotto to see if I might win a bit. I can just use my spare change and buy a ticket every once in a while to test my luck. How expensive are the tickets for the UK lotto? And what are the chances of winning the Lotto UK? I am trying to decide whether it makes sense to do this. I know I would probably be better off saving the money, but it is fun to do something like the lotto every once in a while and take a chance, as long as I don’t spend too much money on it.
