Campanile Chambery Chambéry

... surrounding the lake and its many
villages that we passed along the way. We arrived at one spot on the
lake and the commentary indicated this was the sunny spot on the lake
and the little village had the most expensive real estate in France,
even more so than Nice and the south of France. Don't know whether
to believe it but that is what we were told. Off the boat, sat
outside and had a couple of beers and then back to the room to catch
up.

Hier( le jour avant aujourd'hui...suivez donc, caline!!!), j'ai fait du CouchSurfing, chez un gars super gentil et sympathique de 39 ans qui jouait beaucoup au Go( jeu qui ressemble au Dames d'orignie chinoise).

... Preciosa, un aperitivo de lo que nos íbamos a encontrar...
En la desembocadura del lago de su mismo nombre se encuentra la ciudad medieval, con el Palacio de la Isla controlando el acceso. En lo alto el castillo domina la ciudad y el lago.
Dormimos en el Hi Hostel Annecy, a 10 minutos dle centro.

We sadly left Chamonix and vowed to return there in the winter, and drove to Annecy. Annecy was kind of a repeat of Prague, beautiful old city, on the water, with canals... we were kind of sick of that scene by then. They are applying to have the 2018 Olympics there, with the ski events at Mont Blanc. It would be a nice venue for sure.

... I get further North, and I marvel at the snow covered scenery. I get to Asti at midday, it's only -1C and sunny, I'm tired and concentration is getting hard, the roads are narrowing with snow encroaching into the lanes and the sun is hanging low and getting right in my eyes. I think I must have some strange affliction, when the sun gets in my eyes I have this reflex action to not only close my eyes but almost instantly fall asleep. I'm finding it painful to ...

Firstly, I am glad I did it because I got to see some gorgeous views of the mountains and the vineyards. Secondly, I would never do it again. We met at the train station and got our bikes. I had to switch from my first one because the key was missing. Then on the second one the seat didn ...

... people. Three of the girls had bought their own gloves beforehand.) I mostly spent time with a Chinese boy there. I didn't have a Prada purse or Nike sweats so beyond my name none of the girls were interested me. One even went out of her way on the way home to run ahead of me and walk with other people, leaving me to walk alone. Oh well. We ran to the track and warmed up and stretched. One girl started walking within a min of her run. She sat out during ...

Saved and planned this great trip ... came all the way to France to see P&S ... lazy breakfast and sunny haze across the alps and how do we celebrate? Philip and I assemble a Futon from IKEA! There have to be some metaphors for what we are doing ... united across the miles, doing what comes natural to modern man etc, etc ... Luckily Philip is much more pateint than I. Had this been Melbourne ...
