With the sea still left in my legs from the boat trip from England I stept on the train to schiphol airport Amsterdam. Thanks to my sisters boyfriend i didn’t  catch all the rain between my house and the train station. After packing my bike in the correct way i checked in to fly to Geneva with easy jet  (no leg space jet). After a 1.5 hours trip i picked my bike up and prepared it for the trip to Chamonix. After filling my water supply up in Geneva i started my final trip for that day. In the beginning i had some trouble finding the correct road but after seeing signs “ Paris” on the toll way is realised that i went wrong a little bit.

After finding the correct way things went easier, maybe i should bring a map next time but maps still take away the excitement.  Because everything was closed on Monday morning i needed to cycle more then i planned to before my first pitstop. I Stopped at a nice town called Bonneville. After a nice french sandwich i went on with my 15 Kg backpack. It started to get warmer and the road started to get more difficult because is was closing the mountains of Chamonix.

After making a view short stops i almost ran out of water and luckily i found a small restaurant that just opened. I filled up my water and took a shot of  “Coca Cola” i was able to do the final kilometers. The waiter at the restaurant said that it was around 8 km’s from Chamonix but after i cycled for  10 minutes i saw a sign that said 12 km. This was not what i expected but with the harbor insight i was really motivated to get there.

 

When i arrived i was really exhausted but after a nice shower  and a power nap i was ready to start my holiday.
