I'm from a city called London that has a Thames River, a Covent Garden Market and streets named Oxford and Piccadilly...and it isn't located in the UK.

Tour de Mont Blanc, Day 3: Refuge des Mottets to Rifugio Elisabetta
Distance: 9.5
Time: 4 hours
Cost: 55 euros (room and board at Rifugio Elisabetta)
Our third day on the Tour de Mont Blanc started with a 700m climb up from Des Mottets to Col de la Seigne where we crossed into Italy. It was a bit of a grind, but it was over soon enough. As it was still early in the day, we enjoyed a nice long break at Col de la Seigne, and took a short detour on our descent into Val Veni to view the neighbouring valley.
We arrived at Rifugio Elisabetta early in the day with enough time to do a bit of laundry and have a relaxing afternoon. We treated ourselves to a pasta and beer lunch - sausage and tagliatelle for me and gnocchi for Amy. It was a big lunch, but we still managed to make room for dinner that evening. Mmmmm, pasta!
