getting in the high alps

18.9.03    St. Gervais - Charmonix

It was really amazing in that area, everywhere you could see the Mt. Blanc with it's huge icing sugar hat.

My track was leading from Geneve via Annemasse (got lost there), Bonneville, Cluses, Sallanches, St. Gervais towards Chamonix.

I hope that will be once my retired home

nice church in front of the mountains

There was no end of the track. It was going up all the time and I was tired. I hate my luggage. The nature was amazing but I couldn't watch anymore, my eyes where closed.

my favorite picture, it looks like a painting

just before Chamonix

I did it :-), on the left in the back is the Mt. Blanc massif

I relaxed for a while in town, got some food and watched the people (well, they also watched me). There are shit loads of tourist from all over the world. After a while I went to a camping ground (Chamonix has 8 of them).

my view for 8 hours

Mt. Blanc massif just before sunset

On the camping ground I met a guy from England (sorry, I lost your e-mail). He was a really cool guy. He is working for Rocky Mountain in England. He bought a german fire guard van and is now traveling around the alps riding everywhere his damn good Rocky.
