Day 10 - Annecy

What an amazing place this is. Fantastic mountain and lake views and a nice old town. One of the nicest places I've ever visited.

col du Semnoz (1670m)

After breakfast decided to go cycling and climb the Col du Semnoz from Annecy, 450m high to 1670m in about 17km. Though! Made a "friend" on the way up, a French guy which didn't speak English at all. I can't speak French either but somehow we understood each other with 3 simple words. Difficile! Magnifique! Amazing! We cycled together for over an hour just to get to the top. It was cold up there, 24º in Annecy and only 8º in the top. Massive difference.

We spent the afternoon in Annecy, walking around the town and spending a lot of time around the lake just enjoying the views and weather. Absolutely amazing views and the color of the water is unreal.

I wish the pics could show how nice this place is!

Our day ended with a bbq, grilled steak and beer and now writing this quick post.
