Coach journeys are rarely pleasant affairs, hour on hour squashed into a tiny seat, holding on for dear life and trying not to breath in the fetid air. But one group of skiers have more reason to detest them than most.
A coach taking 50 people from Belgium to the French ski resort of La Plagne in the French Alps ended up in another La Plagne altogether, the La Plagne located in the Pyrenees, a picturesque village, 400 miles to the west of the one with all the snow.
After 24 hours on the coach I can only imagine the mood of the passengers when they were told what had happened. Still, the Spanish Tapas provided courtesy of a Belgian radio station will have helped soften the blow.
