Les Houches, France

The day started by trying the windscreen wipers again...  with no luck .. as the ski was drizzly there was a need to get it fixed ...  Calling AA 5* they called a garage in Chamonix...  who finally agreed to look at it ... they were the only Ford franchise in the valley.

I Drove the car up to Chamonix and finally found the garage after walking around a bit. They had a look at it and poked around some, before declaring that they needed to order a new wiper motor. Also they stated that it would be difficult to get the part before new year ... so it would be an anxious wait to see if we had a car before Saturday.

I caught the train back to Les Houches and met up with the others for a day on the slopes there ... I do not remember which pistes, but we would have stayed on the Les Houches side.
