...back!

Ok, so I've been away having a blast in Europe for the past few weeks so it's about time I get some pics up about our awesome trip!

I should start where I left off and put up the pics from the last ski trip but I don't have the pics on this computer so I'll mix things up: so, here's a few shots from Chamonix and surrounds...

After hanging in Sweden for a bit, with Maria's fam & at N&Ks wedding (which was an awesome time!), we bailed to Cham to help B&I get settled into their new place - and of course take the opportunity to check out this very special part of the world...

Not a bad view to wake up to! Took a few days to see it though as it was a bit rainy...

...and finally! Mont Blanc!

Mont Blanc is center with Les Bosson Glacier flowing to cham

Aguille du midi, with the worlds great ski lift! 900m->3800m!

After a few days the weather really opened up so after building a house-load of ikea stuff we went for a hike, taking the lift to Brevent (2500m) and hiking down to Lac Brevent (~2000m) and back up for lunch then down to Plan Praz (2000m) for the lift back to the village

The views from le Aguille Rouges of the Mont Blanc massif are rightly famous!

Lac Brevent, awwww - like a love heart

Lunch with a view - Brevent

damn, should have brought my climbing gear!

Can you spot the climber?

there she is! (jealous!)

I couldn't take enough sunset shots...

Aguille du midi - 'Needle of the South' - poking it's nose through the cloud with the Telepherique de l'Aguille du Midi on it's way. We hiked from Plan De l'Aguille to Montenvers to check out the Mer de Glace, we got a little wet on the way...

Some cool rocks

min alskling!

and the Mer de Glace!

We rode up to Argentiere for lunch, and a different view. The ride back down the hill was far more fun!

All in all, a fabulous time was had by all - and a big happy 60th for Bo! We ate too much food and went rafting down le Arve in the sun - Brilliant!
I can't wait to visit again, particularly next Feb....
