Bird Man of Mount Blanc

We drove to Chamonix, about 1.5 hours from Geneva.
It was a perfect day and James and I were going to go up the Mount Blanc cable car. However when we discovered it was so busy we wouldn't be back down down for 5 hours (at 7pm) we thought it would be testing the relationship with Wally and John (who had the car keys) who were both suffering with foot problems and had opted to remain in the beautiful village.
So we took the cable car on the other side of the resort instead. It only went half as high (about 2,500m) but as you can see it was still spectacular.

There are parasailers/hang gliders everywhere and I was fascinated to watch this one preparing and taking off.

The extra shows Mount Blanc just above my head.
