Day 7 travel back to England

Day 7 An early rise in order to ensure we got to our taxi on time. This time 24 euros for the same trip we paid 18 for 2 days before. We figured extra was charged to it being so early. Lyndsay had also read that it was so difficult to get a taxi license in Charmonix that there were very few taxis and they charged whatever they wanted. We settled our bill at the hotel and caught our taxi to the train station where we had to wait for about 20 minutes for our train to arrive. After a 45 minute trip we arrived back in St Gervais for a quick change of trains to Anacy where our ticket said we needed to change trains to continue to Lyon. As we got off the train we saw 5 different trains in the station so we approached an official and asked for assistance. The official informed us that our train was the one we needed to be on so we lugged our luggage back onto the train and caught the same one to Lyon. Once in lyon we the adventure began as we did not have an idea of how we were going to get to the airport as we did not know where it was in relation to the station. Fortunately I spotted a sight with an aeroplane on it and we followed it to find a tram station which said airport. 45 euros and we were on the tram. I was thinking maybe it would have been cheaper to catch a taxi. Thankfully we didn’t as the it seemed as if the airport was in a different city we were on the tram for so long. Lyon did not offer the beauty of the rest of France it seemed to be the more industrial side of the country, a lot of factories and graffiti everywhere. It definitely seemed be more slum like with no painted walls, Obviously we only saw certain parts of the city as we were following the tram line however. We made it to the Airport thank goodness as this was the one worry of Lyndsays. Once there we caight our flight on Easyjet to Standstead where we caught a train involving three stops to Bushy station where Sandra was going to fetch us. 85 pounds later and our most expensive train ride yet. We finally made it back to Sandra and Joes, 15 hours of train, tram, plain, and automobile rides later and we could finally put down our combined weight of 60kg bags and settle in with nice hot drink.
