This time last year, I was racing World Cup Downhill in Canada. As the same races came around this year, I flew off to the sun. Only a few weeks to go before the first World Cup Ski Cross race. I cant wait to get some of that action, but before I can get back to racing, I have to make sure I am strong, fit and race ready. Soon!
Almost as soon as we arrived in the land of Ri Ri, we wanted to sample some ‘local’ music, so naturally we turned the radio on. What I learned quickly was, they love their girl Rhianna, One Direction have ‘cracked’ Barbados and there is a crazy amount of reggae xmas songs… amazing!
We were over there for the Surfers Bay Music Festival. Charlie Simpson was headlining. I have to say it is a massive thanks to him, his manager Tristan, and Virgin Holidays for hooking us up for this sweet trip. Our penthouse rooms at the Ocean 2 hotel were insane! THANK YOU!!!
Arriving in Barbados…
Paradise…
Tiny sea turtles hatched and tried to take over the hotel… there were hundreds!
we even had to do a rescue attempt when they kept filling up the swimming pool filters!

Cooling off and relaxing…
with some training…
some horse riding on the beach…
card games on the loungers…

We did ‘come dine with me’ nights. Lizzy’s pulled pork and Tristan’s Strawberry Daiquiris were massive hits!
