Oooh - ooh! that reminds me of the local train trip to (not quite there yet) Chamonix
from Geneva and back. It was too late to continue all the way to Chamonix, so my friend and I stopped at a train station along the way somewhere in the French Alps and walked to a local village for the most delicious coffee and chocolate. Oh what fond memories of seeing the French Alps and having our itinerary conveniently messed up!
