Evening in Gap , @Terryathome on the coolant again :-0

Crap taste a bit better than the beer down here.  Only joking.

Still if I get a leak I could pee in the tank?

@Terryathome should have waited for your tea we found the same roadside pizza place as last year an absolute gem and they sell beers !

From Gap to Nantua for a well earned 2 day stop overlooking the lake with balcony. Might be a bit expensive so cost of beers might put @marcusb into a tissy fit. Serves him right for them cheap pizza last night tight Yorkshire git.

Gap hotel.

Emergency stop on route at the dodgyest bog for miles!

A tunnel was closed on our planned route which forced us up a mountain alongside de lac du  bourget , we found a cafe at the top and what a view -

 

[Terryathome]

Yes good view. Seems like we come up smelling of roses every time. Mind you that bog was le phew.

Day ??

Aldi supermarket just behind hotel, some of wscc members from our last holidays will know these did come in handy for picking up a mid day snack on routes. Anyway the restaurant here is pricey circa €50 plus so we gave it a miss and had a picnic by the lake.

Had a quick walk around where we're stopping and found some cafe and restaurants.  Might walk down and see is we can not get a continental  breakfast, missing good English. 

Drive round the lake is on the cards as can see on Google another town at the other end of the lake.

@marcusb had to change rooms yesterday as wasps seen to be getting in his room. Found 2 in ours this morning, must have got in when I had the window open.

@marcusb ready for action

 

[Terryathome]

Today is a lazy day. Small run out in some of the best scenery and roads  money can't buy. Must be in the 35c range again today.

Picked up a few pics but here's one for @marcusb

You're starting to sound like a Yorkshireman. Must be spending too much time with Marcus.

Set off this morning from Nantua to Langres approx 180 miles, lovely and cool this morning and a good start through some mountain ski resorts to our first coffee stop :-)
