Word of the day - Restful.
After arriving in Courmayeur yesterday and settling into Hotel Berthoud, we walked the pedestrian streets of this lovely little village and had a wonderful Italian meal and a great nights sleep.
We spent the day today doing a bit of laundry, uploading photos for our blog at the Library and walking around town. We bumped into a couple of the Australians (Margaret and Tahira) and ended up having a lovely dinner with them and John and Lynne.
Back at Hotel Berthoud, a family owned hotel since 1960, we chatted with 3 generations of the family.
Another early night as we plan to get up early tomorrow to watch the start of one of the TMB races. The most famous of the 4 Ultra Trail TMB races, consists of running the entire TMB curcuit (168 km´s) in 20 to 24 hours. It will take us 10 days!
Courmayeur - what a setting this town finds itself in! |
