.. exploring beautiful places at home, in the Alps or far away
The breakfast this morning was formidable! I think there was EVERYTHING! Since we were the only guests…everything was for us 
There was coffee, juice,cheese, apples, oranges, cornflakes, baguette, cake, selfmade marmalade,…and much more Anyway…unfortunately the weatherman was right. Most of the day we had rain, wind and fog. Anyway…the worse the weather the nicer it is inside the hut – right beside the warm oven
Today we arrived in Châtel. As far as I know this is a quite famous place for skiing. However right now in the summer it is like a ghost village… almost no one is on the road and most of the hotels are closed. After one hour we found a supermarket. The weather forecast for tomorrow does not look very promising-thunderstorms and rain, rain, rain… To have some flexibility we decided to stay in the valley this time. We have a nice accommodation for this night which is a big contrast to Refuge de Bise yesterday 🙂 Talking with French people is mostly fun and it works somehow… but still it is difficult sometimes. Hopefully the weather will get better soon.

The first day is always the worst day – at least for shoulders and feet We had the perfect weather today. The first part of the way lead us through the forrest upwards all the time… The second part was much more interesting because we had a much better view down to Lake Geneva. The first hut – Refuge Bise – serves no food. Actually nobody is here… Later just a hand full of other guests arrived. Now I am glad we did a stove test before So we were cooking pasta with sausage and cheese… and with some chilli. It was simple – but great!

We finally arrived at Lake Geneva - after changing the train five times… From Montreux we took the ship to St Gingolph where we have a very nice accommodation.
St Gingolph will be the starting point for our walk to the Mediterranean Sea!
This evening we had a great pizza right beside the lake! From the terrace we can look down to the lake and see the sunset 🙂 There are almost no clouds at the sky tonight. We are looking forward to the first part of our journey which will lead us from Lake Geneva to Chamonix.
I (Lisa) wanted to spent my 20th birthday in Paris. Therefore we took the plane and landed an hour later at the airport in Paris. We had a good time there, even if it was really cold! We walked through the city and went up the Tour Eiffel. And we enjoyed lots of baguette, cheese and red wine. Definitely a birthday I will never forget!
