Spring at last?

After dropping off the rental RV in Amsterdam, we toured the Rhine valley in Germany, Strasbourg and the Alsace wine country. Excellent white wines!

Then we headed for the Swiss alps, where we hit some awesome spring skiing at Verbier. So great, in fact, that we stayed there for three days. This was pretty easy because the free parking lot at Verbier is right by the Centre Sportif (where you can get a shower for 3 Swiss Francs, and a very nice public toilet. ...and it was warm enough that we could get by without running our gas heat all the time. The temperature was somewhere around 15 C, downright hot for the mountains!

We had to drive the long way (around Lake Geneva) from Verbier to Chamonix because there is a low-clearance tunnel on the route over the pass. Of course it took us a while to realize this, so we wasted a couple of hours driving up and down the pass from the Swiss side, nearly catching our brakes on fire in the process.

The good weather was short-lived. We are now waiting out a spring snowstorm in Chamonix. Oh well, it gives us time to do our taxes.
