From July 21 to July 29, nine-day trip to Alps officially ended successfully.

Trekking on small ring of French Mont Blanc (France, Switzerland, Italy), organized jointly by Paris Outdoor, Manfeng Adventure Company and Mr. Hug, very well organized. Outdoor enthusiasts from 5 provinces and cities of China participated in hikes. Everyone agreed that thanks to this campaign, they not only strengthened their body, but also showed their will. Moreover, together we enjoyed beautiful scenery of Alps.

Capricorns consider this their territory. Watch travelers and don't be scared at all. They should also pretend to communicate with you.

It reminds me of scene with penguins in Antarctica: Every penguin has his own way. When we, foreign guests, stand facing penguins, penguins stand and stare blankly at us. to me? Because this is my home... This time I met goats, and goats also had same meaning...

The Swiss flag flies high at our campsite. They say that this is territory of Italy, how can there be a Swiss flag here? Later, having figured it out, an American plane crashed here on road, dozens of people died, so I installed such a stone bowl and a flag in memory of this. Maybe flags of several countries are strong here...

The ancient gramophone played beautiful music, making people who love nature revel... For first time in "cowshed" everyone slept together, regardless of nationality, gender and age. Alternative experience. During meal, I ran into a group of enthusiastic and romantic French people, got infected by their emotions, also joined them and broke away. Also, for first time I saw a traditional old hand-operated gramophone playing music. There is no network or signal on mobile phone, and this is state of returning to nature.

If you are traveling by bus or train in Alps, as long as you show driver a small piece of paper from hotel you are staying at (sometimes not at all), you can ride for free. When we took cable car up South Aiguille we lost our cable car ticket (round trip, 60 euros per ticket) and language was not clear so we communicated with staff in body language and it was very smooth. let him sit without a ticket, no matter if you are true or false. When boarding train, we simply showed staff ticket purchase record on our mobile phone, and we were allowed on train. No one will check your ID and ticket when getting on and off train, entering and leaving station, except that someone will check your ticket purchase information on long distance train, and there is no ticket check and baggage screening process, which is very convenient.
