The sun is shining here in Haute Savoie and as soon as The Wright Stuff is finished I am off for a long walk to the crest of the ski slopes at Hirmentaz.
I was torn between buying another house in the Pyrenees, or coming to the Alps, but it is very central here, between Geneva and Chamonix, and I can explore Switzerland and Italy easily. When I lived in the Pyrenees, I was able to use all the different passes into Spain.
I could not bear to leave this wonderful countryside, if it were not for the fact that I will be emigrating to a beautiful part of South Island, New Zealand - and I will be able to pursue my passion for snorkeling on coral on the various islands of the South Pacific.
