I have been here since Sunday and for the most part it's been great. i love coming to Chamonix and the big hills here are some of the most spectacular in Europe. Mont Blanc, rather obviously, dominates the scene and the ridges and valleys thrown down form the heights really draw the eye. Makes it hard to concentrate on the job of teaching people to go left and right, but I am not complaining, it's the best office that I have ever had.
Yesterday, Wednesday, was spent in Courmayeur in Italy following a trip through the the Mont Blanc tunnel, all 11.611 kms of it. Driving through makes you understand what is meant by tunnel vision! the lights along the wall get somewhat hypnotic and if you were tired it would be easy to let the mind wander.
So, one more day to go and I will drive back to my base at Ste Foy tomorrow evening. Much better to get back on Friday and avoid the trauma of driving in the Alps on a Saturday transfer day.
After a day of rest and relaxation I head to Courchevel on Sunday for 2 weeks. I used to work there and know it well and I am working with a good friend so it should be fun.
Lets hope it gets colder and we get some snow, we need it. Reports soon
