Friends along the way

We met many interesting people along the way. Hello to Karen and Doug hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip. Canadians are good travelling companions again.

There was a group of 25 Koreans who carried tents and food (hard work)

The bubbly Finnish girl travelling with her sisters and mother. The Danish family who we shared breakfast with at Rifugio Elizabett and then met at Col de Balme 5 days later. We had travelled in opposite directions. We really enjoyed our dinner at Tre le Champs with the German graduate in International Relations and her Swedish boyfriend. They met studying in Korea and used English as their common language. The two British grey campers added to the fun with their stories of the hardships of camping.

Thanks to the happy american who arrived at a tiny cafe on the side of a mountain and called down to his local guide who was a minute behind him "where is the toilet". As we were leaving we both passed  a drinking fountain fed from the glacier - guess what he asked us.

Is this water cold. I love americans abroard.

The British ultra marathon couple and the Kiwis from Queenstown kept popping up and everyone above along with many more made the trip even more rewarding

Thankyou all
