Bonjour! I am in Chamonix, at the foot of the French Alps. I set off from Reading this morning, landed in Geneva and got driven all the way out here. Luckily the lady at the front desk speaks English. I have tried a little bit of French, mais c'est ne pas tres bon. I've stocked up on food and water and looked at the time table, early tomorrow morning I'll be gretting this hiking thing under way. Starting from the near by town of Les Houches, I'll be walking to Les Contamines which is about 16km. I don't know how common internet access is so I may be out of earshot for a while.

Hey tCraig
Well I've finally gotten around to replying to one of your posts. With every new one I think that I should - but then have nothing to say, so kinda don't kinda thing.
Glad to hear the wedding went well and that you got to reminisce about old times and catch up with old friends (but dont forget about your current ones ;p ).
Exciting to see that you have now set off on your OE proper, having left the old home town. Keep keeping us informed, we're with you all the way.

I staggered into Courmayeur @ 7ish, 28kms in arm frizzling sunshine, and I've adopted the red and white stripes that mark the way :-)
In classic Italian 'hotel'
