Today was our first full day in Borovets and everyone was so excited to get started! After getting ready and making sure we were wrapped up warm, we headed up the mountain for our first two-hour ski session. Some of us were beginners learning how to stop and turn, while others were building confidence and improving their skills. The instructors were really helpful and by the end of the session, everyone had made great progress.
After a busy morning on the slopes, we stopped for lunch to warm up and refuel. The food gave us lots of energy for the afternoon ahead!
In the afternoon, we went back out onto the mountain for another ski session. It was great to practise what we had learned in the morning, and lots of us felt much more confident going down the slopes.
Once we finished skiing for the day, we headed back and had some free time to explore the souvenir shops. Everyone enjoyed picking out little gifts and keepsakes to remember the trip.
In the evening, we had dinner together and shared stories from the day. To finish off a brilliant first day, we played table tennis and air hockey, which was lots of fun and very competitive!
