Read More Day 5: La Contamines to Les ChapieuxTonight we’re writing from L’Auberge de la Nova. The plan was for Molly and I to have a glass of wine while we did this, but the “town” we’re in is too small to have a place that sells glasses of wine. So we had to settle for buying the entire bottle, at 12€ that […]

Read More Day 4We made it to our starting/end point for when we do the hike. We started the day in a patisserie and my dad and I shared le petit dejuner which came with a bunch of bread and jams. Also the best orange juice in the world. I only like orange juice when it has pulp […]
