Sunshine and snow - from Italy to France

Now sitting in the relative cool of the evening at our hotel base for the next two days in Annecy.  Pleased to feel a nice breeze after the heat of the day during our 270 mile ride from Lake Como, across northern Italy, and up from the plains into the Alps where we took the short (but expensive) route through the Mont Blanc tunnel (£25).  At least I can say that I have done it - an amazing piece of engineering through totally spectacular scenery.

Arrived here, very hot and having removed outer bike gear showered with the rest on to give them a wash -  dried in an hour in the heat.
Was trying to add photos  however, the WiFi at this hotel is so slow it will be breakfast before it loads.
The hotel is directly opposite the Annecy private airport so apart from traffic noise we have the odd light aircraft taking off.
Old Dougz is doing a bit of slagging regarding my literacy,  however as he comes from the West of Scotland, speaking the Queen's English is slightly more difficult for him -
This is a Campanile Hotel, accommodation is not as good as we have had up till now,  evening meal was reasonable, but we will be out on the town tomorrow night..
