The half way point
... some significant wealth at some point as there are a large number of very old big ritzy residences. We are staying in one that has been converted into a hotel. Barcelonnette is well off the beaten track so it's history must be a little obscure. Tomorrow we go over the Alps into Italy and spend two days at Portofino.

Gap
Modane, Col du Télégraphe, du Galibier et du Lautaret avec Franck, un allemand à sacoches rencontré sur la route. Briançon, Col de l'Izoard, Embrun et le lac du Serre-Ponçon. Pause de deux jours à Gap voir les gars de l'atelier de Mobil'idées et la cousine de ...

Day 4
... not as difficult as some. As we came down the other side of that col we experienced scenery beyond all expectation. I hope some of the pictures will give you and idea, but if we had stopped at every photo op view we would have been on the road for days. We are also into fruit and wine country and are seeing the white netting I described last year covering every fruit-bearing tree or bush. The birds must be very aggressive here. I would sure like to have the ...
