Sorry I didn't relise how long it's been. After lyon I did make it ti chamonix. Chamonix is amazing! It is right at the base of mont blanc ( not the pens) and is a mecca for all things mountain. It was very clowdey the day I was their so I didn't see all of it beauty but what I did see was amazing! I started walking the haute rute their. It's along trek through the alps from chamonix to Zermatt. The guide book I have recommends that you take at least two weeks to do it so I'm trying to do it in a week. So far I have done pretty good about doubling up the days. The weather hasn't been very good so that makes it hard. We even got snow the last two nights. I have stayed in a bed and breakfast, 2 hostels and 2 alpine huts. I have taken three gondola rides and a ski lift ride to help out with some of the walking. I have seen lots of cows with huge bells around their necks. They all sound different it's almost like wind chimes. I have also seen sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, marmots, ibex, and a tinny snake. The wild flowers are out of this world. When the clowdes do break long enogh to see the mountains their very inspiring. I want to climb them all!
I am not a writer ( if you have been fallowing my blog you know that) I am not a photographer ( I have taken alot of pictours!) I'm not an artist ( I have drawn some thing) and if I was any one of theis things I still could not share with you the experience that I'm haveing. You can't writ about every warm hellos you receive or the sounds you here the smells you smell. I can't take a pictior of every flower every butterfly every glacier every waterfall. Everything is Pictor worthy! And I shire can't draw wat I see. What I feel and how it changes me. I can't wait to share what I can with everyone but even if you can't afford it (like me) just come do it come see it travel! Ta ta travelers.
I am so glad you are having such a good time! I got some post cards yesterday and loved that I got to share in little prices of your trip. Thanks for taking the time to write this blog and get the postcards. I can't wait to see your pictures. Love you and keep having fun!
