Oggi a les neiges d'antan grande nevicata sono andato a prendere lorenzo e pierre al gouffre des buserailles perchè la loro macchina senza catene non andava più avanti. C'erano anche due belgi disperati fermi sulla statale con una macchina a noleggio senza catene che mi hanno chiesto aiuto, dovevano andare in un albergo di Cervinia. Gli ho caricato i bagagli su una delle due land rover e li ho portati a les neiges d'antan in attesa di servire degli ospiti che nel frattempo si erano accomodati al ristorante. Luca è dovuto andare a presentare un film del cinemountainfestival a Valtournenche e ha preso la land rover con i bagagli dei belgi! Ho dovuto scendere fino a Valtournenche, fare cambio di macchina e tornare su. I belgi si sono poi accorti di aver dimenticato un bagaglio sulla macchina ci fermiamo a prenderlo e vediamo la navetta del loro albergo passare: erano alla ricerca dei clienti smarriti che gli avevo portato via io! allora li ho inseguiti, bloccati e scaricati. mi hanno donato 20,00 € di mancia.... la situazione mi ricordava vagamente il film after hour di scorsese chi l'ha visto?


Today there has been a lot of snow at Les neiges d’antan. I went to pick up Lorenzo and Pierre at Gouffre des Buserailles, because they had no chains for their car wheels and they couldn’t get any further. There were also two Belgians with a rented car, stuck at the side of the road, no chains, and they were very unhappy because they had to reach their hotel in Cervinia. I loaded their luggage onto one of our Landrovers, and I took them to Les neiges d’antan for a moment because I had to look after some guests who had just sat down in the restaurant. Meanwhile my brother Luca had to go to present a film at the Cinemountainfestival in Valtournenche, and took a Landrover… unfortunately he took the one with the Belgians’ suitcases in it! So I took the other Landrover, drove down to Valtournenche, and brought the other one back up. The Belgians then realized that they had left a suitcase in their rented car, and so we went back to fetch it. While we were retrieving the suitcase, we saw the shuttle vehicle of their own hotel going past: they were looking for the lost, abandoned passengers that I had abducted! So we chased after them, got them to stop, and transferred the Belgians and their luggage. They gave me a twenty euro tip… The situation reminded me of the film “After Hours” by Martin Scorsese, have you seen it?
