We met friends (Jen, Alex, son Lian 7 yrs, and Tessa10mnths) of Graham’s in a little village in the mountains called Gryon/Solalex. We needed to be there to put our gear on a truck to be taken to the Refuge, but we were running a bit behind due to some traffic issue in some of the other little villages. Then the thunder storm hit! We met Alex and crew however the road to the Refuge was washed out in several places and the truck could not go up or down. So we sat in a cozy little restaurant and drank white wine, beer and hot chocolate until the rain stopped. (about an hour or so) Then the 13 of us hike for an hour and a bit to the Refuge. We dined on a very good Fondue and tucked in for the night. No rocking to sleep for anyone. Nine of us did sleep in one room so that made for lots of laughter….until we got in trouble from one of the French speaking workers…..it was only 10:30 for heaven sakes.
