From Zermatt we took a train to Padua a little place near Venice. We decided as Venice is a bit of an expensive town to stay in that we would stay in Padua for two night and go into Venice for the day. The Lonely planets excellent directions of take the bus get off at this stop and then ask for direction http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-210833.html Here are some photos.

It has been so much fun....who would have thought that 2.5 days here could be as demanding as hiking in the Alps. We have tried to fit alot in and have succeeded I think. It was great that Linda and Katie met up with us yesterday. For those of you who do not know.....Linda is a childhood friend from Golden who happens to still be http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-205052.html Greetings from Paris.

We can not believe our good fortune....it is cool now rainy and cloudy and as we look up can not even see Brevent....2500 m above us were we stood yesterday. It was a long final day....over 9 hours and 2000m down. I think we are in shock a bit that we complet http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Rh-ne-Alpes/Chamonix/blog-203379.html So we have finally figured out that you have to sit here for hours to get photos up on the blog. So here they are. We are in Champex Switzerland right now and this is the largest town till the end of the tour. If weather permits we will be finishing the tour in 4 days and will be back to civilization in Chamonix France. Today was the easiest day of the tour at 4.5 hours.
