Travelling in Haute Savoie

Well the week is finished and we saw Jess off yesterday in Geneva for her flight back home to England. We had a nice time in spite of the crappy weather and a certain toddler who is plateuing in his terrible twos (thanks Jess for being so patient). We at least got to do some catching up and got a few hysterical laughter moments in. Nobody gets me laughing like Jess and then I can't stop and then people start staring and then we forget why we're laughing so hard.

Over the nearly four days that she was here we hit some best of tourists spots within an hours drive from us. It's too bad we didn't get to swim in the lake, take a boat or do a hike in the mountains. If only we'd had more time and warmer temps. It's awful to miss out on good weather when friends visit.

On one of our exursions we visited Morzine and Avoriaz. Season doesn't start until July so everything was quiet and most shops were closed. This is a pedestrian bridge in Morzine. Pretty scary if you don't like heights.




Teasing Jess that she needs to take the time to stop and smell the flowers, or in France's case, the geraniums! We went to St. Gingolph this day and then went around the end of Lac Léman to Switzerland to check out the Chateau de Chillon.







Finally we spent Wednesday in Annecy lunching on the quai and shopping. The sun was finally shining, we were gorging on crépes and cider and Little S was feeding the swans in front of an adoring fan club of little old ladies. It doesn't get much better than that.
