Time to get warmer...a last look at this amazing place...

Lounge time...

The lounge food was looking so bad...that we ordered a pizza....as bad as it can be! Here it is!

Cute!

Sure!

Bath time...and we travelled with our own amazing wine...

Chinese breakfast....nothing to be happy about...

No kidding....they did set up fixations...on cross country skis...insane...and dangerous!

Second attempt...slightly better....but they are so bad at setting them properly...

Tanya first time ever down hill skiing...

Not bad for a first hour skiing...

How lucky are you Peter? Harbin at a warm minus 18 degrees. When I had the chance to go it was minus 30 degrees. How lucky are you? Attending the Ice Festival at minus 18. Very lucky it seems!

Indeed! But what was really wonderful, is not a single cloud in the sky.....would rather have very cold...than snow and -4 degrees!
