Chapter #14

One of the prettiest campsites

we have stayed at

has to be the one beside

Lake Lucerne.

On arrival you would never guess!

Very average looking camping ground!

Directed to the far end of the campsite

the initial thought was,

hope I'm not "busting" in the middle

of the night

'cos it's a flipping long hike

to the "sanitaries" :)

But what awaited us at the far end

was nothing short of bliss -

an open field,

sure,

but smack bang on the shores 

of the lake.

This is the view
 from a trek up the hill

behind the camp...

our tentsite was on

the very edge of 

the green field almost in the

exact centre of the pic.

We had a couple of days in this utterly

scenic paradise...

...have absolutely no idea what this building was

but it looked so

regal and super impressive

up there on the hillside...

...and this is something I was not expecting...

a wonderful old covered bridge,

and in fact I saw quite a few more

whilst travelling through...

Our time in Switzerland was short,

but very sweet,

as "the hand" was definitely on the mend

and we needed to head back 

to France for some serious training.

Such a beautiful country...

...so green,

and the sky so blue...

...those mountains...

...and those blue blue flowers :)

We decided to return to Les Gets

mainly because of the bike park facilities,

and partly because it was reasonably close

and we knew that everything

we needed was there.

It's definitely one of my
favourite of places - 
a small but absolutely delightful
camp ground,
high up the hill behind the township,
and from our tent
we looked straight out at
Mont Blanc!
And the local baker 
delivers fresh baguette
every single morning :)
See you in Les Gets.
