AIGUILLE DU MIDI

This past weekend we took an 8 hour night train down to Chomonix in the French alps, here we toured the town and visited Aiguille Du Midi.  This is mountain top where an observation deck has been created, with only a cable car or helicopter to reach it.  It was terrifying, but had one the most beautiful views we had ever seen.  We had a close up view of mont blanc, and a saw over the 'Mer de Glace'  sea of ice in French, describing the endless view of glaciers.  Down in the town of Chomonix, we were surprised to find that the British outnumbered the French; in one bar we visited, even the bar tenders were all british.  On Saturday we took a day trip to Lake Geneva, walked around and made our way back.  The train rides may have been long for the whole trip, but it was all worth it.
