Marijke and Pietro arrived yesterday, so we had a good overlap and a great catch-up.
Managed to get off this morning at 9.00, and had an uneventful journey in warm sunny weather to here - Les Houches (part of Chamonix) on nice quiet roads. Snowing when we arrived, and temperatures around 5°C - but hey - it's a ski resort!
Tomorrow to Troyes in L'Aube ...

| This is the first time we've seen the wisteria out in the garden ... |
 |
| Farewell for now ... |
 |
| The Robinia trees in the valley have just started to produce their tresses of sweet smelling blossom ... |
 |
| The paddy fields in the Po valley where the risotto rice comes from - Alps appearing in the background |
 |
| Last view of Italy - the mountains in the Val D'Aosta |
 |
| First view of France - the lower spurs on Mont Blanc shrouded in snow clouds seen from our hotel room |
