Must thank Chris and Kym for suggesting Annecy as a destination. It really is a superb location, the scenery both in the town and around the lake is stunning and the people are very friendly especially if you make the effort to speak the language.
I have to report that not only did Penny eat the frogs legs yesterday she ordered them in French, and I was also complimented by the waitress, who looked like a young Suzy Quattro, on my use of the language.
Today was a trip around Lake Annecy on one of the boats, it takes just over an hour and it's really nice. There are several villages spread around the shore all with something to see, and because the lake is truly glacial the water has that same colour and glow that some of them in NZ have.
All aboard the good ship "Savoie"
Chateaux in the mist Back to Annecy
Old Town, photographer's dream....
After lunch we got old WG55 out and went for a spin around the lake.....
Pengy, having recovered from downing a whole bottle of Avocat joined us on this trip
We were going off to Lake Geneva tomorrow but I have to report that both of us have had colds and Penny is suffering worse than I am so we thought we might have a quiet day instead. Having said that there is some sort of festival in the old town so we'll give that a spin in the morning and see what it's about, I suspect it's got a lot to do with food and drink!
