Today is the day to organize everything
to start the Tour first thing in the morning. It has been a cloudy day with a
shower in the evening though afterwards it became quite pleasant again.
Chamonix reminds Russ of an old saying
from Hawaii - bring money to keep Hawaii green (referring to US dollars).
Everything is quite expensive especially considering The Aosta Valley in Italy
was much more reasonable.
We saw one group of a dozen young guys
walking through town - each carrying two short ice axes (for vertical climbing
ice), crampons, rope, helmets and the whole kit. Looks like they were having
fun.
Quechua is a brand many of us are
aquainted with from the outdoor store Decathlon. Here we found a Quechua store
so it is an independent brand as well it seems.
This place has more sports stores per
block than we have ever seen before.
