After we sorted our passports out in London, we ventured over to France to catchup with Trudy in Grenoble. We arrived in Grenoble on the Friday afternoon and the lovely Trudy came to pick us up from the Train station.
The next day we went for a drive, Trudy took us up to Chamonix and gorgeous little village at the base of Mont Blanc (White Mountain). It was now snowing consistently so we walked around the markets then got a bite to eat for lunch.
After lunch Josche just had to have a snow ball fight completely one sided as you can see below!
Once Josche got over throwing snow balls at me, we started to make some snowmen mine was so much better!!!
This is Josche's Snowman
This is my snow man!
TADA!
After Chamonix we drove back dow towards Grenoble but took it a bit slower to see some of the amazing scenery on the way!
On the way back Trudy took us to another beautiful little village that was situated on a massive lake where they go sailing in summer and the up the mountains to ski in winter, sounds like heaven! It was also known as the venice of France as it had beautiful little canals. It also had the Christmas markets going!
The next day was Sunday, Josche was feeling a bit sick so Trudy and I decided to venture up to have a look at the Les Deux Alps (The 2 Alps). The scenery up here was amazing I have just put a sample of the photos below. Whilst we were up the mountain we had some lunch at the ski resort and a bit of an explore around before heading home.
The next few days Trudy had to go back to work :-(, so Josche and I explored Grenoble, and some of the towns near by in the Alps. Grenoble was a great town for Christmas shopping markets and Vin Chaud (hot wine)!! The day we ventured up the Alps it was freezing cold I thought my toes were going to fall off! We tried to stay inside with a hot chocolate where we could. Basically we walked until we got to cold.
After our few days in Grenoble it was time to catch the train to Nice! The day we left it was snowing still so it was on with the backpacks to hike in the snow!
