Chamonix Masterpiece

We spent the most incredible day here up the mountain, buying a day pass and zooming up on the cable car. The views from the top were just stunning, and the air was fresh. Taking in an amazing walk from the cable car to the glacier… it was a little on edge at times, rocky, and pretty high. Epic!

Wild flowers and grass… beautiful colours

Annecy… nice and easy

Thunderstorms were on the cards first morning in Chamonix so we headed to Annecy instead for a good look around. A lot like Queenstown, it’s a charming place with its old town, canals and the lake. We’re in Gelato heaven here as we sat and took in the view. Peaceful.

Lakeside



Rhine and Dine

We’re finishing our quick tour of Switzerland at the Rhine Falls… the most powerful in Europe. It’s a powerful spectacle that surrounds you in every sense and the viewing platform is right in the falls themselves. We’re staying in a campground upstream and on the edge of the river. We liked Switzerland… it’s expensive but for the natural scenery it offers, it’s worth it. 



Rhine Falls after dinner… powerful 




Could watch this all day.
We head out of Switzerland via Montreax and head to France… Bon Apetit!


Chamonix… our campground for 3nights



It’s a sign hahaha

Moving water to Lucern

A beautiful drive today through to Lucern, seeing stunning waterfalls and lakes along the way. Moving water tumbling over cliffs… it’s very moving.
