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.

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 -

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.

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.
