Another delay. REMEMBER Once it is up and running It will be Immediately And Very Obvious If you overstay your 90 days….
Not only could you be fined nearly four thousand euros Deported Or banned from entering Schengen for up to five years Your travel insurance will be invalid…. THAT could be expensive…
If you do want to come for a long time… Or will be very close to the 90 days… Why not Avoid the stress and get a visa ?

Today is hug a bear day
TEDDY Not a grizzly….. That wouldn’t go well…
looking forward to Skiing over to Tignes And having a hot chocolate Or lunch At the Grizzly Bar Near the bottom of the Tufs chairlift
Have you ever been there ? To say the owner is a bear fan Is an Understatement…
Definitely worth a visit.
Back to Teddy bears….. Teddy was the 26th President of the United States Theodore Rossevelt Who spared the life of a bear On a hunting trip in 1902.
I will just hug a doodle They are loving the snow on the nursery slope Don’t get to run freely there When the lifts are open And skiers are turning and swirling
See you in the morning.
