    On the road again to Annecy

    September 10, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We am up and on the road early (9am) for them! Good start to the day road wise until we med 2 wrong turnings with satnag to blame, but he ay appy,nor me cuz I am a bit of a beast for 3 point turnings. Anyway, all is well and we nip round Dijon on the ring road very easily,so he's a bit happier now. They ave decided to use a bit of toll motorway to speed progress and check prices, so we speed along lovely. On exit after about 80 killys we pay 9.50 so it ay very cheap!
    The terrain has changed from flat to hilly now and I've got a sweat on as we climb through the Jura mountains, and we stopped for lunch with a great view of the beginning of the Alps which we will be driving through,up,or round in the days to come. Good job I'm in good nick for an old un!
    On to Annecy and satnag again has a hissy fit routing us through some of the town and through a 3m high tunnel which luckily we just squeeze through. This at least gives us a glimpse of Annecy which we will be visiting, and wow the streets are packed with people as we inch on through. This throws up a worry on whether there will be space on the camp site we are heading for,and sure enough the sign "complet" greets us at the entrance. Worryingly there are motorhome and caravans everywhere seemingly hunting for a pitch by the lake, but we strike really lucky on our second site, they have a space, Yippee!!
    Pitch up and they celebrate with Ghost Ship beers, and a stroll to the edge of the lake and a BBQ and a early night after 700 miles. No wonder me tappets am hurting! Still there's some nice young French vans here to keep me company, as we am here for 3 nights! Viv La difference!
