The train from Milan headed pretty much due West punching it's way through green fertile farming land before hitting the mountains. The train snaked along a valley as the land either side got taller. I had a nice loyal flowing river with me as a companion.
I arrived in Chambery Challes and then caught a bus from there to a little village called La Tour Du Pin. With a local drunk providing some afternoon entertainment, it was then another train to Grenoble. Grenoble was the Home town of Andre the Giant for those Wrestling fans out there.
From there it was a twisting and turning bus drive to my home for the next week. My unit is super nice and only a decent 3 wood from the centre of town. I unpacked and assembled my girlfriend (also know as my Trek Madone), grabbed a dinner and tomorrow I go to bag my first Col. More on that later.
Au Revoir
