Off to the Alps

And so, after a nice lunch in the shade of an avenue of limes in the centre of Sauvigny de Beaume, we head south for our next stage to Annency. Before long, we suddenly arrive at a tunnel, and as we come out the change in the scenery is incredible. The water is azure, the mountains steep and dramatic and the viaducts sweep across the valleys. It is a great introduction to the Alps in the summer, and strange to see it without snow. We pass a sign that says 34 deg C. We know it is hot, but surely not that hot. The journey passes without incident, until we hit the traffic jams of Annency at rush hour. That was a shock to the system. An hour later and we get through to the lake to try and find a camping area.
