A long but very pleasant walk from geneva after sadly saying goodbye to my friends Evelyne and Gerry. I would very much liked to have stayed longer as i doubt i would tire of hearing about their fascinating lives. I have to press on however. I do so having met 2 very special people.

The alps to my west provided the perfect setting for what was about 35km walking today. I am staying on a proper campsite tonight which is great – hot showers and everything.

I am pretty worn out tonight and have a very private chafing issue (that i now mention on the www!). On that bombshell i will say goodnight and settle down in my tent.
