Yesa Reservoir: Sea of the Pyrenees. Sadly seems there's been no 'sea' here for years. Quite surreal landscape today.

10:21

Just back from hols mostly riding in mountains & by lakes. What to do? Cycle Lac d'Estaing for more of the same! grin

12:51

Nice spin in Parc naturel regional des Volcans d'Auvergne. Quite a mouthful! But great park could spend more time in.

20:55

Sunset at Lac de Vaivre. Parked up in a quiet spot by this lake. Very nice & thankful it's still not peak season smile

09:45

Time to leave Lake Lucerne... really love this place. Last of the views on the road above Weggis. Tschuss!

18:02

Evening stroll in Vitznau, Lake Lucerne. Interesting train station here: Rigibahn was 1st mountain railway in Europe.

10:59

Random shots from today's instalment of 'Driving Through Switzerland in the Rain'. Bit of a theme forming here!

11:43

Onwards & upwards as they say! Last part of today's hike via Windegghutte. Few chains on this climb. Awesome route!

10:50

The Trift Bridge. Because why wouldn't you build a rope crossing between cliffs above a glacial lake? A. Maze. Ing!!!

12:26

Random shots from today's little drive along Lake Maggiore. Feriolo then coffee stop in Intra. Another glorious day.

10:16

Today's ride: Lakes Orta & Maggiore. Ridiculously beautiful! Many cyclists out & even traffic is well behaved smile

19:11

... and so we find ourselves on the shores of Lake Orta. Quite pretty with some hills around. Weather seems OK. Phew!

18:16

Today's parking spot: on the shore of Lac du Lit au Roi. Lucked out here - it's beautiful! smile

15:04

Messing around on the shores of Lac de Matemale smile

10:36

Today's ride: Lac de Saint Ferreol. Beautiful area I think is bit like a mini Black Forest - sadly minus beer/cake sad

17:52

On the shores of Untersee. We were last guests of the season in this campsite & they gifted us the stay! Danke! smile

16:32

Little forest walk to the shore of Brombachsee.

18:42

Sunset by Chiemsee. Spectacular! Feel like we could be on a Pacific island - if not for Alps on the horizon wink

17:32

More random pics from a lakeside campsite. Gotta love out of season travel - this place would be packed in summer!

14:18

Random stop for lunch overlooking Lac de Serre-Poncon. It's not about the destination... smile

13:50

Stunning Lac d'Artouste. 2000m up, but with the sunshine today & that crystal clear water, feels almost tropical.

14:11

When your teenage guest is missing the beach... we find ourselves at Lac de Lourdes. I'll admit water was lovely in.

11:45

Things to do this arvo, so little spin up the Aspin & to Lac de Payolle was all there was time for today. Oh well! wink

13:53

Today's ride: bit grey but always something interesting to see. This is on the dam wall at Stausee Kleine Kinzig.

11:53

Ride from the Med coast up brutal climb (20%+ ramps), past vineyards, a castle & lakes. You know, the usual stuff wink

12:38

Our drive today is tourist route 13. This is Granvinsvatnet, a small lake. Norway is so perfect when the sun shines!

10:21

Short hike up to Roche des vieux chevaux (great views down to the site we're staying at) & Lac de Lispach.

08:30

Stuck the phone out of skylight above our bed not long after waking up & hit camera shutter. Looks like a nice day!

19:09

Rainbow over Lac de Longemer. And the view a few minutes later. Wow! Loving this place!

14:55

Lac de Longemer: what a spot! Roads here are awesome, but there's baguette & cheese to be eaten before any riding! wink

09:05

Morning stroll by the lake shore next to Castle Howard. Saying hello to some of the locals along the way... quack!

08:55

Just back from breakie looked out the window to see amazing light on the lake. Wow! It's so beautiful here. So lucky!

06:20

Nyepi day in Bali. Silent at dawn. We cannot leave hotel today so booked one with large grounds. So beautiful here.

13:40

Lunch spot: Refugi de Juclar. Nippy at around 2300m up. Lake next door would be prettier if it hadn't been drained sad

23:20

9km later... back down by Lac du Tech. Such a nice way to spend a few hours.

14:30

This morning's ride was round a misty Lake Como. Menaggio to Bellagio. Shots on the ferry back home. Nice way to end.

18:05

Sitting on the balcony at dusk, looking across at the lights on the other side of Lake Como. Nice way to 'unwind' wink

16:05

Arrived in Menaggio & love the view. A few shots straight off the balcony. 12/85/300mm (DX) if you're wondering wink

10:30

In Italy, but had a look up a valley into Switzerland as we passed. Lakeside train station here: nice waiting room!

14:25

Late-ish afternoon ferry back across Lake Constance. Great day! Some nice craft bobbing about here too.

10:40

Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen. Completely unpronounceable! wink Is an open air museum of stilt houses we passed today.

10:35

By the shore of Lake Constance. It's huge, with beautiful clear water as you can see. Waiting for the Mainau ferry.

18:00

Lake Constance at sunset. Hanging out with the swans... although Pratiwi finds them big & scary any closer than this!

05:40

A misty start to the morning looking down over Lake Brienz & Interlaken.

11:20

Another beautiful picnic spot for lunch, this time by Lake Thun.

09:00

Lac de Mauvoisin. A dam if the tunnels & wall don't give it away wink How much better would it be without those though?

14:40

Back down by the lake. Time for some to enjoy coffee & cake!

12:50

Ahhh... so this is what it looks like when the sun shines! wink By Lake Hallstatt - spectacular! grin

15:00

Rather overcast views across Lake Hallstatt. Pretty impressive all the same. Should look good on a blue sky day!

11:00

Königssee. Beautiful (allegedly the cleanest lake in Germany) but sadly only time for a very short walk here.
