• Courmayeur morning

    10 de julio de 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    I'm sure the morning is going Cerene but no video (sorry, Mandy)
    We are still understandably bummed but the views are still crazily good, and we ARE BLESSED in being able to see and experience as much as we did.

    The hotel has awesome spread for breakfast
    Variety of cereals, breaks, croissants, fruit salads, local hams and cheeses, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and tons of yummy looking desserts (which we regrettably do pass on)

    We go back to the room afterwards, and while Laurie continues to Ice the 6 go through all the machinations necessary for us to interrupt the trip and return home a full week before planned departure.

    I will not bore you with all the minute details of that task! Suffice to say that the new-normal world sucks, absolutely everything is a nightmare and may things never go wrong for anyone! Much angst and frustration it adds.

    It took a while, but we got it straightened out.

    We are supposed to stay here for 2 more nights. (Yesterday we would've hicked from Les Chapieux to a given bus stop and take the bus to Courmayeur.
    Today, we would've taken the bus back to that point and hiked INTO Courmayeur proper.
    Tomorrow would be a rest day to play tourists.
    The hike would thus be resumed on Friday the 12th)

    Instead, we will spend these 2 remaining days pretty much staying put and then will be taking a bus to Geneva on the 12th
    and flying back home on the morning of the 13th
