Our first campsite was Le Pelly, near Sixt Fer-a-Cheval.
Despite sharing only a few words, Wilf found a great mate in our neighbour, Axel.
In the week we stayed, we did several big climbs, though the highest peaks were still towering over us.
This became a theme of the holiday - waiting for butterflies to sit on you - something that happened even more frequently when you had worked up a healthy sweat (or had a hat with 'flowers' on...)
The alpine flower meadows were a huge highlight of the trip.
