Briançon
... to arrive. Dad also had a cheese platter since he was peckish. Anoop sampled one of the goat cheeses and Dad told him if you breathed out through your nose while sampling it you would really taste the goat. After trying this he decided it was not a good idea at all and would not recommend doing so. We then headed back to camp to change and pick up our bikes.
We set off for the Clarée Valley near Briançon and parked in a small lot ...
Col d'Izoard

Col de l'Iseran
... I also checked out all the pull-outs to see where the optimum photo vantage points were for the next day. As we drove down there were sheep and cows grazing everywhere, cute mountain huts with stone roofs and a beautiful waterfall and stream.
