We had woken periodically during the night and ensured that the full weight of the snow had not built up over our heads. We popped our heads outside around 0700 to a wonderful site, well, some may not think that? We had a good 4" of snow around us, a great picture we though, we had never camped in the snow as yet? Until last night we had been the only tent, last night company arrived, there tent almost collapsed with the weight of the snow? The only option to us now was to leave, but first we checked the weather for our next destination, Lauterbrunnen, just south of Bern, the capital. There we planned to take the underground trains up to visit Jungfrau, one of the highest peaks, the amazing valley claimed to host 72 magnificent waterfalls too! The forecast gave snow/rain and more of a problem, heavy cloud cover for the next ten days, no point in visiting there then we would see nothing! We quickly rethought our plans, enough of the cold we would head due south, for the French Riviera and Monaco, heat, glorious heat!

The drive was interesting enough, the conditions of the roads a little concerning at times, but we were not alone. I had decided if we found ourselves alone or needing snow chains then we would think of a "plan B". Ann continued creaming out her words of "guidance" as we continued?

After several hours, once we began descending down the Alps, the snow began to thin and then eventually cleared completely by late afternoon.

We were now making towards Monaco, we were now heading for Le Moulin, on the French side of the board only 6 miles from Monaco city.

It took no time at all to get our selves settled and the tent up and dried, what a beautiful setting, hard to believe we had 4" of snow this morning and now here we were in shorts and 25C!
