We wake up early as convened and Jeff checks on his ankle. Miraculously, the swelling has gone down a lot, and he goes back to the 'I-don't-need-to-see-a-doctor' mode again. I'm not his guardian, so can't force him.
For breakfast, well, sunny side ups for me... and although not included in the standard meal, they were free of charge... had been paying about 3 euros an egg at the other lodges/hotels!!!
Train back to Chamonix, we go on a search for cigars, souvenir t-shirts, whilst eating 3 scoops of gelato (passion fruit, pistachio, and melon).
Once those missions accomplished, lunch where I have giant prawns with French fries.
Follow that up with another 2 scoops of gelato (passion fruit and wild berries), yes, they were THAT yummy...
By that time, the deadline to complete the ultra trail race was approaching. With just 1 hour to go, there are still lots of trekkers flowing in...
Rest of the day is fairly uneventful just catch the coach back to Geneva, say my good byes to Jeff, and return to center of town where I'm staying.
After check in at the hotel, I go chocolate hunting, and finish the day with Turkish skewered chicken kebab dinner.

Melanie Milate-Maschino Don't have the level & don't want to put his life in danger trying to save me One thing is sure: mountain & sea activities must not be taken too lightly, we're nothing compared to these elements...
