We left Reimes about 9:30am and the new Garmin took us out of town the right way. Mile apon mile of frankly boring French countryside, a bigger scale but much like the Thames Valley!! roads are nice though! As we went south it got lighter, and warmer, it was a very misty morning. Suddenly chalets & hills appeared, the countyside turned more 'Swiss!' - I'm sure I heard a yodle! - the poor old Toyota only just made it on some of the hills!
By Annacy (south of Geneva) 321 miles, we were ready to rest and found (or Garmin did) a nice hotel - haven't decided on a name for the Garmin yet - the old one was 'Stella' and the one in the Jag had to be 'Fiona'. Any suggestions gratefully received, she's very efficient and minimalist and sounds every consonant. What shall we call her??
Tomorrow the plan is Lake Como for lunch (227m) stop over there, then Venice on Friday (200m) in time to pop into the ferry terminal to get the tickets for Saturday's departure.
Now - I'm hungry!!
