Cheese with Everything

Made it....just
30 minutes into journey we stopped to refuel on our 5 hour journey. As we were about to leave I went to put traffic monitor into Tom-Tom and unfortunately placed it in reset hole. Tom Tom died and so did my hopes of ever getting home again. He has been a great buddy and has ensured we arrive at doorstep of every destination. I was really annoyed with myself, not the greatest frame of mind for journey ahead. Karla used her orienteering skills, the position of the stars and the direction of migrating birds to ensure we finally reached Annecy...ahead of schedule. When we reached Annecy it was hit and miss and I didnt help by travelling in bus only lanes around the 1 way streets. Eventually found the hotel and got parking space. Kiera liked the last hour of journey when we travelled through the mountains by tunnel.
Annecy is absolutely gorgeous, sitting by a lake that is surrounded by mountains, the water is so clear and so inviting for a quick dip, but the snow on the mountain tops suggests it may be quite cold. The waters from the lake meander through the town Venice like and it has a real Swiss/German feel to it.
Tonight we dined overlooking the canal and whilst fondue and other cheese related main courses were order of day, I went for duck with mandarin sauce and Karla went for Womble served with almond butter. Not sure if they import the Womble from Wimbledon Common, but we were assured it was a fresh water white fish (Orinoco Flows).
The girls are already well into their sleeping and their snores keeping me awake.
Tomorrow we are planning a trip around Annecy Lake and then a trip to Geneva and Wednesday we plan to visit Chamonix and Mount Blanc.
Messr Hamilton, directions from Annecy to Dijon welcome!
Fondue to you to.
