Waiting for the work to begin

It is difficult to write a weekly report, when nothing has happenned. We are still enjoying deserted slopes and the evenings are quiet. When I arrived the only English bar restaurant open was EL MOLI. The ground floor bar was the meeting point for the newly arrived instructors and other workers. It had been open throughout the summer and made a very cheerful focal point. The upstairs bar overlooks the start of the Gondola lift and the main street and was a pleasant place to enjoy a varied menu. The QUO VADIS had an opening party with “Pica Pica”, bar snacks to you and me. These were delicious and would suggest that the Pub Grub there, will be of a high standard this season. The dinks were served by the ever cheerful KEVIN, assisted by two lovely, lively ladies, CHLOE AND GEMMA. The very traditional CISCO’s opened soon after. By the time this is posted, THE DERBY and EL CAU should be open and in full swing.



I recently noticed that on the PALARINE’s website, there was an article by STUART (the self appointed best barman in Arinsal). In the article he claimed to have been abducted several times by aliens. Reluctantly, I was prepared to believe that aliens had abducted STUART and returned him to the PALARINE. However, I refuse to believe that they would take him a second time.



We are all looking forward to the 21nd December when the first large group of British clients arrive and we start being paid. I hope to see some of you then.
