After many hours of waiting in the airport to leave, flight, waiting two hours to get luggage, finally travel to centre Geneva to walk around, get some fresh air and eat at McDonald's. A Big Mac combo cost 12.50 CHF, which is around $13.00 CAD. Ridiculous! We went to a patio bar at the airport to wait for our bus to Chamonix and had two large Heineken, which was 12.00 CHF (yep, 6.00 CHF each), so beer is cheaper than a Big Mac.

We took a bus to Chamonix, France and walking around aimlessly looking for our hotel. Last night, as we laid in our beds watching Jaws in French, we decided we were too tired to go anywhere.
We slept in late today and went to some place for our breakfast/lunch, which was the plat du jour (fish, potatoes, veggies, and bread) and a large beer. Everything is closed during lunch time. We walked around and stopped for ice cream. Today's flavour were creme brulee and cassis. We walked around and thought of taking the gondola up to the Aiguille du Midi, but decided it was too expensive, perhaps at the end of the tour. We bought water bottles and have just come from spending time on a patio. I couldn't tell you the name of the place but we each had two large beers and crepe with bananas and chocolate. It was the perfect place to watch men walk by. I must say I'm feeling pretty good at the moment ... on the way to being drunk.
