Poorly in Paradise!

1/ We're vertical. Flattering light disguises the yellow and grey faces respectively!!

We're vertical and walking for the first time in 2 days! This afternoon, we took a short drive up the hill towards Flaine and discovered the small cross country skiing area. In the summer its a golf course. Looking at the terrain, we're thinking it would be incredibly challenging! The course sits on a high plateau bordered by cliffs on three sides. Standard golf attire must include a harness and a length of rope to abseil for ball recovery. Perhaps its the mountaineers' golf course...2 sports in one? I wouldn't put anything past those frenchies!!

That's it for me today. The couch beckons! I have to summon the strength to make something resembling dinner. Fingers crossed, we will see a major improvement in the health tomorrow!

2/ A orderly arrangement: serious skiers to the left, walkers, snow shoers, dogs, assorted motley relatives to the right. If only the road system was that civilised!!


3/ I'm shattered!! My parents in their 80's could have walked further!!
