Moving Day, France

We had an appointment to meet with Chris tomorrow evening, so we needed to find a new location closer to Geneva to-day, as the timing would make it difficult tomorrow.

For some reason I cannot remember, I wanted to go and have a look at Samoens... apart form being the back side of Flaine, there was an opportunity to get into the Portes De Soleil.

The drive up there took most of the day, and we arrived late in the afternoon. After a quick trip to the Tourist information centre we were not much the wiser. So we settled in the Auberge de Montagne la Table de Fifine, we had a twin room for the same price we had paid at the last gite ...  another learning point.

Walking into town for dinner, we looked around for a place for the next few days when Chris arrived, and on the way passed the Gite des Moulins .... we would come back here once we had picked up Chris, and it would be our place for the next week.

We again had the place to ourselves, and shared a bunk room under the eaves,,  three mattresses on the floor. Everything was made up by the great common room with cooker and several comfortable sofas.
