Alpine Loving !
just back from my trip to the Alps and wow what a great trip it was too ... scorching sunshine as soon as we got there
lots of routes along narrow mountain passes, driving the trail up to the 10,000ft sommellier glacier, white water rafting, parasailing, driving 'hannibals trail', playing on the Val D'Isere off road course, and some sightseeting in Geneva to name but a few. Here's a few piccies
One of the many mountain passes ...
First alpine hazard ... cows sleeping all across the road and not wanting to move despite manic beeping on the horn !
At the top of the Sommelier glacier trail ...
Morning coffee at the start of hannibals trail ...
my car posing in Val D'Isere
on the Val D'Isere off road course
group hug in front of Mont Blanc
