France 2013: Day Thirteen


Today started and with a train ride to Annecy and finished with a train trip back from Albertville.







We are very close to Switzerland and the Alps loom large


A Citroen 2CV and a satellite dish.
Just about as good as it gets for the French grey nomads


On long climbs these kilometer posts assume great significance.
They give the distance to the top (here 11km) and average gradient for the next kilometer (8%). 
Sometimes they seem a very long way apart.


The hills are alive with the sound of Alain von Trapp.
