It was a cold night, really cold, we were up a fair bit of the night. As a result we were totally knackered by the morning. We set our hearts on a lazy day. Once again the weather was really good, ver sunny and hot.
We headed into Chamonix, we had to go back to the laundry and hand in the bedding to be cleaned. Susan wanted new walking shoes, the ones she has are really too small for her and as a result she had sore feet after yesterdays hike. Whilst she did that I sat with the dogs in a bar.
We had a look round Chamonix, it’s a beautiful town, especially with such great weather, we watched the paragliders coming down from the peaks – still tempted, maybe tomorrow.
We went back to the tent but it was too hot to sit out so we went for a walk round the woods with the dogs, it was a good walk, nice and shady. We stumbled across this Gite which had a little cafe in the garden, it looked nice so we stopped for a drink, we debated staying there for the next 2 nights but it transpired that it was like a hostel so we binned that idea, however we are now in the mood of a decent bed for the night so the guy suggested we try next door. They were full!
Boyed by the possibility of a proper bed we decided we’d stick the tent for another night then check into a hotel for the last night so we decided that when we went back to Chamonix for the washing we’d go and find a hotel.
We went back to the tent, I had a shower then we went into town to the Laundry and to get something for Tea, we went to the Tourist office but they said to try again in the morning, we decided to try a few hotels directly. We drove in to the village near to the camp site and found a hotel that takes dogs, they had a room free that met our budget so we booked it for tomorrow night. Our luck was getting better as we found 20 euros lying in the street outside the hotel!
We went back, cooked dinner, watched 24 and went to bed, it was not as cold but the rain came and boy it was torrential.
