Today we were re-visiting Megeve. In contrast to our first trip to this resort way back in December, today the sun was shining and the whole of the resort was open. No thigh deep powder snow or snorkels required this time, but the resort has obviously benefited from the good recent snowfall.
Our re-visit to this ski area was due to contact with a favourite Te Wanaka guest, Mirielle and her two delightful daughters, Clemence and Violette. Mirielle lives in Marseille and is staying in Megeve with her cousin Bernard. We have kept in contact with Mirielle and her family, ever since they first stayed with us at Te Wanaka. Mirielle is a lovely lady and it was terrific to meet up with her and hear her news. She is an adventurous soul and not afraid to try new things. She was excited to tell us about her horse-riding lessons and her new horse called Mustang.
We spent a couple of hours luxuriating in conversation during a delicious mountain lunch. Poor Bernard suffered our extremely bad french and extensive english conversations with good humour. He is a dental surgeon from Normandy, with a perfect smile (what else would you expect). He is wonderful with Mirielle's daughters and they just love him. Bernard is also the owner of a true "Daniel Boone" style hat! We all had great fun trying it on over lunch. But there was no question that Violette looked the best in it!
Tomorrow we pick up Mike & Leanne Barton off the TGV from Paris tomorrow afternoon. The Wanaka takeover of Araches begins!!
