We had ordered pancakes for breakfast and a lie in until 9 again. We got a good chunk of packing done before breakfast. Peter from Highlife helped with the bags!
Our pick up from the airport was not until after 12 with our flight sometime around 4. The Saliba's flight was not until 9.30 pm so they had arranged another day of skiing! It was another glorious morning even warmer than yesterday. Chris is determined to do at least the Red if not the Black run the top of Mont Chery on the other side of Les Gets.- Deirdre on the other hand is not so sure.
"How many for pancakes?" asked our chef Ronan. "Six" we agreed, except I said that I would have five (Pancakes.... to eat.... by myself.... I meant!). When all the pancakes were served there were just five portions - my smart-alec-ness had backfired - everybody else got their beakfast but me! Ronan kindly offered to make some more.
Here are just a few more snapshots - see more on Flickr.
After breakfast and after we had finished packing we went on a brief tour of the other chalets. Lolana is the most interesting with a very intriguing layout and design. Its like something out of Lord of the Rings. With lots of balconies and timber features and couldn't help thinking of Rivendale! We made a quick journey down town. It was a beautiful warm sunny spring morning.
On Route
Soon enough we were back and loading up the bus and bags for the hour back to Geneva. We had a pleasant journey with some spectacular views across the Alps - only interruption was that one of the other family's kids got sick! Soon enough we were in Geneva. We did the non EU duty free shopping - nearly a years supply of gin! Soon enough we were in the air and again some great views over the Alps and down to Aix Les Bains. Everything was ontime and by 6 pm we were back in Rathmines - a little weary and sore but invigorated and enthusiastic about going back again next year!
Well done Highlife - a holiday to be recommended.
