Woke to typical mountain weather with the mountains covered
in cloud. After some discussion we decided to walk to Mer de Glace from
Chamonix. The walk is a vertical climb of 1000m in 4 kms. It took us 2.5 hours
with a coffee stop at mountain hut Caillet. The cloud lifted as we ascended so managed
to get some nice mountain views. Andy and I were surprised how much the glacier
had retreated since we last visited in 1991. Walked down to the ice tunnel
which was very underwhelming. Managed to get a free gondola ride back to the
cog railway station and then caught the train back to Chamonix.
And Kate did the walk too. So proud of her! And of you two as well, of course!! Lovely mountain pics.
