16 September, 06
We were on our way to Charmonix. The drive took about 4 hours and the roads were pretty good. As we got nearer to the Alps it got really pretty but the weather was a bit dodgy. The tolls cost a fortune and so did the Mont Blanc Tunnel. When we arrived in Chamonix the sun was starting to come out a little and it is such a gorgeous little town. Everyone was so friendly and they are very ‘geared-up’ for the tourists. The mountains surround the town and they are covered in glaciers. Everything is wooden and cottage-like with gorgeous flowers everywhere. We walked around and it was perfect weather for a fondue. We had a Savoyarde fondue with champignons for dinner. For those who don’t speak French it is a cheese fondue with black mushrooms. It was delicious.
