Friday
morning
March 3rd
drove us out of our beds at about 7 a.m. For this once
my dear Hana was
my
companion on my bakery journey . We chose
delicious baguettes and croissants. When we went back, Jitka
already had prepared sweet-smelling tea and coffee. We relished
morning pleasant holiday atmosphere, then loaded our ski stuff
and we hit the road for our skiing. Our bodies tell
us something about rest but we were hard to ourselves :-) .
At about 10 a.m. we already were down-hill skiing. Unfortunately
the weather was worse
than on Tuesday. It was snowing and snowing. First only
occasionally but in one hour it began to be really heavy. There
was a lot of new snow on the pistes and it was difficult and
dangerous to ski in it. So in the beforenoon we spent our ski
time on the easier one.
However
easier ... easier ... On that slope Hana was ran down by a young
snowboarder ... Fortunately he didn't go so fast and he stopped
and helped Hana to stand up. "O.K.? O.K.!" and they both
continued skiing. Fortunately ...
After our break that we as usual spent in the "Le Prarion"
restaurant me and Jirka went to
more difficult, the Kandahar piste. But it was too strenuous because
of a pile of new snow so we went down only four times and we
came back to the upper cableway station. And what
surprise ! Jitka and Hana were already waiting there for us.
:-) That was enough. We said our "Hello" the Prarion ski area and
"For next time!", for the last time we went down
by the cableway and our driver Jirka gave us a lift to "our"
apartment. We were really, really tired so we were happy to be
over there again. We had Pilsner
Urquells, some cheese,
salami and c o f f e e .... aaaaaah. Older bodies were
satisfied ...
When we recovered there was no playing cards, no, no. We started
packing our things for our
tomorrow's return journey. We packed almost everything except
for things to do
evening and morning things and things necessary for sleep. Then
we carried all those baggages down into Subaru and for the last time we
went out to Chamonix downtown to look around and to eat in
our preferred restaurant "La Poele". We fell in love with its
pleasant, homely atmosphere. And also its pizzas, omeletts, salads
and Chardonnay.
We spent very splendid time there, we were talking about our
holiday, experiences, we laughed at all humorous situations that we
lived through during that week ... and of course me and Hana
thanked to Jitka and Jirka for possibility to be their
companions on that splendid vacation. And of course we sent via
Jitka our BIG THANKS to Jitka's nephew Christian that let us
stay in his cozy apartment. Once again, we thank you Christian !
Yes, we agreed on opinion that it was really
memorable holiday time and all
of us would have it on our minds forever ...
Oh ! And we also agreed on our tomorrow back route. Jirka
refused to go again over the mountain pass and down the
switchbacks. Why ?!?! :-) Well. We agreed we would
go through Geneve. It would be a bit longer but safer.
Then there was our last return "home" and our last holiday night in Chamonix Mont Blanc
...
