Rothschild horse jumping competition
Part 2 of our day in Chamonix: After the cable car and viewing up at Aiguille du Midi we took it back down 1/2 way to Plan de l'Aiguille and hiked to Montenvers train/Mer de Glace where the train brought us back down to the village. It's days like this!! It takes patience, planning and of course luck for the perfect weather to visit Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix. Once your legs stop shaking from the vertigo you can spend hours admiring Mont Blanc and the 360 vistas that include the Italian Alps. Altitude is 3842m (12,680ft) Even more amazing is the adventurous hikers and climbers who dare to walk on the glacier. Such a treat to see them at this perspective...while safely holding on to a hand rail :-) Happy Dale & Beaver Buddy Lisa could come for a short visit. “La Fête Nationale” is a nationwide holiday that commemorates the anniversary of the liberation of France marked by the storming of Bastille.
.....And I finally get my FIREWORKS! :-) 2 nights in Switzerland is not enough....I'll be back!
After visiting Kerri in Germany we found 2 cool pads on AirBnB, one right on Interlaken lake and the other in Veysonnaz. Our route went through Lucerne, Interlaken and thanks to my amazing driver we survived hundreds of hairpin turns going over Grimsel Pass.
