We’ve arrived to a cooler Chamonix – 20 deg C during the day, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and beautiful vistas. We’re around 6km from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc town in a village called Les Houches. The hotel is a three star, but highly recommended by previous guests and for good reason. We have a family suite with comfortable [...]

Saturday 30 May We said Ciao to Lago Di Como and Italy and Bonjour to Mont Blanc, Chamonix and France. We had a rather long drive today, heading out of Italy into Switzerland through the Lake town of Lugano. Realising that it would take us forever to get through the Alps on this route, (every [...]

Wednesday 27 May Yesterday was a pretty uneventful one, except for Karl getting back from Brussels. I was feeling horrible, stuffy head, sore throat and achy all over.

I’m back in Como! For those of you who aren’t aware, I took a mini-sabbatical from my sabbatical to attend the Retail Banking Council Meeting in Brussels for two days. It was great for a couple of reasons – it was a change of pace, stimulating meeting with the bankers from Europe, catching up with [...]
