Jose-Luis explained the whole process our water goes through before it reaches our taps!!</p>

<p>The children had breakfast at 8am and were getting ready to go up the slopes again for their last skiing session. This morning they will be skiing with the instructors from 10am till 1pm after which they will be making their way to Pradollano for lunch. The children have already packed their suitcases. There might be time after lunch to buy some souvenirs before the coach departs for Gibraltar at 4pm. The coach should arrive at the Coach Park in Gibraltar at around 7:45pm.</p>
