Kicking off our anniversary in style- cereal in bed. We had our fancy dinner yesterday, and now back to how we normally like to do things, simple. Ok, so we were still in a 700 year old castle...
We spent a little time walking around and decided it was just warm enough to go for a swim and lounge by the pool. Despite the dark clouds, we had a little patch of sun, and determination to enjoy the pool.
When it got just too cold to swim, we decided to start to make our way home, stopping wherever looked interesting along the way. We didn't go far before we reached Lac de Bourget. It was cold and gray, so we grabbed sweaters and a cafe before walking along the shore.
Brrrr.
We spent a few hours on the long pedestrian trail along the lake. What a great idea- a nice wide road on the lake for only bikes and pedestrians.
Late in the afternoon, the sun came out and it got hot. Time for swim suits and a jump in the lake! What a change. The water was so clean and inviting.
Sunshine on the shore.
We caught the last rays of sun reaching over the mountains and started for home...but not without topping off the trip with a strangely-branded pizza made in a van (some how this is our new travel tradition).
