omg mountains

ok this is gonna be a short post cause the net access is expensive but i had to come online to check hostel availability in nice, which is probably where im going next.

i'm currently in chamonix having just arrived from annecy which was gorgeous and this place is even more breath taking but its a bit cloudy.

was hoping to take a cable car half way up mont blanc tomorrow but apparently they had signs there today saying that the visibility is bad to 0.

anyway, annecy was definitely the best place ive stayed so far. stayed there two nights and met two other girls, one from south africa and one from austrailia. Cool to have people to hang out with. Went on a boat trip round annecy lake and took lots of photos, also swam in the lake. Was cold but ridiculously iddylic(which i cant spell), swimming in a lake at the foot of huge green mountains.

Weirdest thing to happen so far is that i arrived in lyon at about 11pm cause i coulddnt get an earlier train. Found the road the youth hostel was on on a map and figured out how the tram works. Very proud of myself. Reached the road and hostel is number 51, set of walking at number 157. Got to 53... then got to 45. Oh crap. Wandered around this slightly dodgy neighbourhood a while and decided to go back to a police station id seen a few blocks back. Fell through the door almost in tears and told them i was lost. Nicest police officers in teh world. Turned out there were two roads called teh same thing and id picked the wrong one. Ended up having three police officers drive me to the hostel, while they sang songs about the quartorze.

Anyway apart from that everythings totally awesome. Just hoping for better weather/visibility tomorrow!!

Au revoir!
