Chalet Time - Deeep clean!
... for the past year, the whole place needs a good paint. Lunch with Joel & Charlotte. My hands are getting so dry from all the cleaning - can't wait for the arrival of rubber gloves, awoohoo!! I had dinner at Megs tonight, Tim was elsewhere - very short on food now, had 1 sliver of Duck each that we've managed to eek out of the leftovers, SuperU order should arrive tomorrow. Everyone went to the bar, but I couldn't be bothered. Tim got home at 3 verrrrrrry ...

Stefan had to do battle with a donkey to buy the passes. He was pushing his nose through the glass barrier heehawing at the billeterie staff to give him a biscuit. I think he thought that Stefan was going to get one before him ...
The toughest bike ride of my life
... top and since it was pretty cool up at the top, we decided we should start making our way back. Just before leaving, I joked that I might need a defribulator on the way back; we had seen the sign for one on the way up the Telegraph.
The descent down was a lot of fun but it was quite cool out as some clouds had rolled in. Within probably about 45 minutes, we were back in the town where we’d stopped for lunch. We continued on and I struggled my way ...
