Sydney to Doha Sat & Sun 2 & 3 Sep 2023
2 September 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
David drove us to Denistone station to meet Richard & Karen in the second carriage of the 5pm train. The Qatar airline airport check in took the best part of 2 hours including sorting out a seat allocation issue. When we were going through the final boarding check I had the wrong boarding pass. Yvonne who had gone on ahead had to race back from the doorway of the plane so l could get on. During the flight I watched a Canadian film about a ranger and geologist in a forest fire. Dinner arrived around 11.30pm Sydney time and we were all hungry. The plane flew west across Australia, the Indian Ocean and India during the 14 hour flight. After dinner I watched the film Hypnotic and dozed. Had a party pie and mini sausage roll with coffee in the dark. Then watched the Avatar water film. Breakfast was beef sausage and scrambled egg.Baca selengkapnya

Doha - Geneva - Chamonix Sun 3 Sep 2023
3 September 2023, Qatar ⋅ 🌙 32 °C
Arrived Hamad International airport Doha Qatar about 4.30am local time and split the Euro I brought with the group. The airport is large, beautifully made with very few planes considering its size. There was a 3 hour wait for the Qatar air flight to Geneva airport Swiss side. At Hamad International airport we were taken by airport bus to the plane. It was really hot and humid outside the airport buildings with a great deal of dust in the air. The flight to Geneva was about 5 hours, during which I watched a Canadian movie called Ice Road and a Sandra Bullock movie called Lost Island. Karen had booked a ride with a company called Mountain Transfers who drove us in a large van about 100km to the Vallee Blanche Hotel Chamonix in the French Alps.Baca selengkapnya

Got up at 7am. Great breakfast then some grocery shopping for the hike. Out of Vallee Blanche hotel Chamonix in the French Alps around 10am, but managed to miss the bus to Les Houches twice because we waiting on the incorrect side of the road.

There were spectacular views and a cog railway (Tramway du Mont-Blanc) to photograph. Initially we walked to the Col de Voza and then walked downhill on dirt roads with little to no traffic. We had a picnic lunch in front of a new house being built in the shade.Baca selengkapnya

A little further down the road in the village of Bionnassay in the French Alps was a 400 year old church. There was lovely scenery as we descended down to the valley and on to the village of Les Contamines (1,100 metres) and our gite accommodation at La Ferme a Piron in the French Alps. We had our own small room with 2 bunks. Our packs were out in the hall as there was no space for them in the room.Baca selengkapnya

TMB to Refuge de la Crox du Bonhomme Tue
5 September 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
After lunch we continued following the TMB route uphill to reach the Col de Bonhomme (2329 metres). We arrived at our accommodation at Refuge de la Crox du Bonhomme (2444 metres) about 4.15.pm. We shared a 6 bunk room with 3 others. Richard was on a trundle bed between two bunks on the floor. There were no showers, no inside toilets in daylight. Instead there were shocking home made pit toilets and there were files everywhere due to the state of the pit. But the place had location. Everything was carried in by people or donkey and the occasional helicopter. Paid 200 euro cash for the night for the four of us.Baca selengkapnya

Up at 6.15am, breakfast at 7am, before the flies got up. Breakfast of corn type flakes with chocolate, bread jam and coffee. Left Refuge de la Croix du Bonhomme (2444 metres) at 8am and commenced the TMB variant ascending a foot track to reach the Col des Fours (2665 metres) saddle in an area that was snow covered and and impassable a week or so before our trip. Now almost of the snow had gone. Immediately after Col des Fours Richard and I saw a goat sized deer like animal called a Chamonix which passed close in front of us as the path contoured across and down a very steep slope. Later at 10.30am we had morning tea further down the lengthy descent towards a valley. Lunch at Refuge des Mottets (1864 metres) before walking uphill towards the Col de la Seigne (2512 metres). There was a strong cold wind as we climbed higher.Baca selengkapnya

The Col de la Seigne (2512 metres) saddle is the border between France and Italy which we reached around 3.15pm. Richard was limping at this stage and the last three kilometres to Rifugio Elisabetta (2195 metres) in the Val Veny would have been particularly hard for him. Above the building at were two glaciers. We were set up to sleep in a huge dorm with people on 3 levels. However at 8pm we were offered a private 4 two bunk room for an extra 24 Euro due to a no show. the next day at breakfast we were told later by others in the dorm where we were going to sleep, there were bed bugs in the bedding we would have slept on.Baca selengkapnya

Up at 6.30am. The unexpected upgrade to a private room was fantastic. Breakfast was black coffee, bread, jam and biscuits. Left Refugio Elizabetta (2195 metres) at 8.15am and walked down the scenic Val Veny towards the town Lac Combal. Close to the town Richard left us to catch a bus from Lac Combal to our accomodation at Courmayer so he could rest his feet.
