Lake Placid




Wouldn't it be funny if we tipped a boat over in Lake Placid? I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow, but it might be worth doing just to tell the children one day.
The Winter Olympics was here in 1980, much to Christina's general delight, so we went all the way to the top of the 120m ski jump. They didn't have a hill big enough so they just built a concrete tower with a lift in. At least you don't have to walk all the way up it!
Eddie the Eagle trained here according to Wikipedia, so there can be no higher praise for the place really.

Also, i'm quite excited about the Nissan Altima Hybrid that the hire company gave us- it does lots of clever battery recharging things as you drive. And when you floor it it unleashes the full power of a gazillion batteries. Every London taxi should have it, the engine is mostly off in queues!
