Mat 14...

So I'm  having Blogger problems. I think I ran out of buffer space on my phone  so I'll try an add-on...

Lunch:
And dessert:
Apple tart and
Apricot tart.
We headed back to Charmonix to plan our next stops.
The weather forecast for the next 5 days in the Alps looks cold and wet, so we're thinking about heading south to Genoa, Pisa, and the over to Venice. STAY TUNED tomorrow's post will show where this adventure brings us next...

Chamonix, France May14, 2026

Yesterday was a long day. My bag showed after a couple hours wait. Then an another hour to get the rental car settled before driving 4 hrs. (About 30 sleepless hours).
And so it beings...

This is the view from our room at the PlanB Hotel.
We slept a little later than normal and had breakfast at 9 A. At 9:35 we were at the Mount Blanc cable to head up. Weather had come in over night and the mountains were not visible but we decided to head up anyway. Glad we packed warm clothes. It was snowing and there were no views.
Photo 1 what we'd could see.
Photo 2 what was there.
We had a great time just did see much.


After about an hour at about e 12000 ft the lack of oxygen started to bother us both and we headed back down.


We got back down the Charmonix at 1 PM and decided that a drive over to Trient, Switzerland for lunch would be next.


Elise Rose Chapel Trient, Switzerland.
The road to Trient is an amazing collection of switchback I'm convinced all the local drivers are Andretti's. We pull over to let a persistent tailgate pass and ended up at a small Cafe and decided  to have lunch.

jimbobadventures Italy

It's May 12th, Bob and I are beginning a new adventure. This time we're heading to Europe. 
Currently at Logan International in Boston heading for JFK in NewYork. The first stop across the pond will be Milan, Italy. Our scheduled arrival time is 9:05 AM CET.
There's a +6 hour time difference.  So it'll be 3:05 AM EDT. I promise not to call when we arrive.

 So we arrived in Milan but my bags decided to take detour to Philadelphia.  Rumor has it that my bag will be arriving later this morning
