Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m), Mont Blanc
One day trip from Geneva, Switzerland, to Chamonix in France. Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in France and the site where the first Winter Olympics took place in 1924.
One of the main attractions is the spectacular cable car trip from Chamonix to Aiguille du Midi 3,842 m (12,605 ft) – the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world. There is a change of cabin at 2,317 m. From here, the ascent is steep and directly, without any support pillar for a length of 2,867 m. (data from Wikipedia).
The Zombies Resurrection
It happens every year: the zombies take over Toronto!
What is a Zombie?
“The Walking Dead. Scientific name Homo Coprophagus Somnambulus.” – Urban Dictionary
“Zombie” definition extracts from the Urban Dictionary:
“A deceased human being who has partially returned to life due to undeterminable causes. The brain retains base facilities, namely gross motor function. In its near-mindless state, it grasps no remains of emotion, personality, or sensation of pain. In rare cases, some of the reanimated have reflexively preformed routine activities from their past lives.”
