We had a slow morning getting over all the food we ate on Christmas Eve. It was nice to have a sleep in and a bit of a relax after doing lots of tourism.
After a light brunch, Roland and Christine took us up to one of the mountains near Annecy, Le Semnoz. This is also a ski station and once again, there was virtually no snow. It was the first day we got to see Mont Blanc. The other days we have been out it has been difficult to see due to the position of the sun or cloud cover.
At the top there were some paragliders trying to get a good updraft to take off. They managed to get a small wind to have a bit of a play but I’m not sure if any of them succeeded in getting the right wind to take them down the mountain.
We then headed back down, passing some typical farm houses of the Haute-Savoie region.
We then drove back along another section of Lake Annecy. From every angle, this lake is beautiful. We got out and had a bit of a stroll and it was like spring weather. Christine said it was not usual to see little daisies flowering at this time of year.
Christmas night, we headed back into the old part of Annecy and enjoyed a cheese fondu. Yummy!
