One more from Chamonix

OK, I lied in the last one.

Two things I have to mention. The first is a huge “THANK YOU” to the staff at Bar’Dup – the finest bar in Chamonix – for spiking my tab until I get back in January. The phone line for their credit card machine has died and won’t be fixed until late tomorrow or maybe even Monday so I couldn’t pay it off.

Guys and calls – again, thank you. It’ll be paid in full as soon as I walk in next year.

Second thing is a little tip for you. Don’t shave your head when the temperature outside is floating between 10 and -13 Centigrade. And you have a cold.

Brr.

Last post from Chamonix

Well, for a few weeks anyway. I’ve done my last bit of work (almost – but the one remaining one can be done at home once my head’s stopped pounding) and I’m about to walk down to Midnight Express to get a farewell burger.

Then to Bar’Dup to collect my credit card which has been there for over a week. Oops.

As ever, it’s a shame to be leaving Chamonix but I have special people at home who I’m really looking forward to seeing. And kicking about with them for a couple of weeks is more important than staying here. Though the crew at the hotel is a tempting reason to hang on for a bit. They’ve been great.

So, adios Chamonix. And I’ll see you again in January!
