We left Venice and began our travel towards Lisbon: DESTINATION Geneva. We got off to a rough start, experiencing our first real traffic jam > we travelled less than 10 km in 2 hours! We managed to amuse ourselves listening to the radio in Italian and translating and singing along in our very limited (creative) Italian. Also, we had a nice picnic in the car and a couple of impatient Italian drivers provided additional entertainment for us.
We drove for about 5 hours before we arrived in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France. You wouldn't believe the excitement at the sight of SNOW in the mountains! We decided to bunk in the mountains and settled in to the Best Western for the night. After much discussion we agreed we should go skiing here, but alas the slopes don't open for another week.
Erik is extremely disappointed to be here in the French Alps sans skiis!
We have been in touch with Martin from Geneva and have an offer to stay there this evening. Thank you Wes for introducing us.
