Yesa Reservoir: Sea of the Pyrenees. Sadly seems there's been no 'sea' here for years. Quite surreal landscape today.
Just back from hols mostly riding in mountains & by lakes. What to do? Cycle Lac d'Estaing for more of the same! 
Nice spin in Parc naturel regional des Volcans d'Auvergne. Quite a mouthful! But great park could spend more time in.
Sunset at Lac de Vaivre. Parked up in a quiet spot by this lake. Very nice & thankful it's still not peak season 
Time to leave Lake Lucerne... really love this place. Last of the views on the road above Weggis. Tschuss!
Evening stroll in Vitznau, Lake Lucerne. Interesting train station here: Rigibahn was 1st mountain railway in Europe.
Random shots from today's instalment of 'Driving Through Switzerland in the Rain'. Bit of a theme forming here!
Onwards & upwards as they say! Last part of today's hike via Windegghutte. Few chains on this climb. Awesome route!
The Trift Bridge. Because why wouldn't you build a rope crossing between cliffs above a glacial lake? A. Maze. Ing!!!
Random shots from today's little drive along Lake Maggiore. Feriolo then coffee stop in Intra. Another glorious day.
Today's ride: Lakes Orta & Maggiore. Ridiculously beautiful! Many cyclists out & even traffic is well behaved
... and so we find ourselves on the shores of Lake Orta. Quite pretty with some hills around. Weather seems OK. Phew!
Today's parking spot: on the shore of Lac du Lit au Roi. Lucked out here - it's beautiful!
Today's ride: Lac de Saint Ferreol. Beautiful area I think is bit like a mini Black Forest - sadly minus beer/cake 
On the shores of Untersee. We were last guests of the season in this campsite & they gifted us the stay! Danke!
Sunset by Chiemsee. Spectacular! Feel like we could be on a Pacific island - if not for Alps on the horizon 
More random pics from a lakeside campsite. Gotta love out of season travel - this place would be packed in summer!
Random stop for lunch overlooking Lac de Serre-Poncon. It's not about the destination...
Stunning Lac d'Artouste. 2000m up, but with the sunshine today & that crystal clear water, feels almost tropical.
When your teenage guest is missing the beach... we find ourselves at Lac de Lourdes. I'll admit water was lovely in.
Things to do this arvo, so little spin up the Aspin & to Lac de Payolle was all there was time for today. Oh well!
Today's ride: bit grey but always something interesting to see. This is on the dam wall at Stausee Kleine Kinzig.
Ride from the Med coast up brutal climb (20%+ ramps), past vineyards, a castle & lakes. You know, the usual stuff
Our drive today is tourist route 13. This is Granvinsvatnet, a small lake. Norway is so perfect when the sun shines!
Short hike up to Roche des vieux chevaux (great views down to the site we're staying at) & Lac de Lispach.
Stuck the phone out of skylight above our bed not long after waking up & hit camera shutter. Looks like a nice day!
Rainbow over Lac de Longemer. And the view a few minutes later. Wow! Loving this place!
Lac de Longemer: what a spot! Roads here are awesome, but there's baguette & cheese to be eaten before any riding!
Morning stroll by the lake shore next to Castle Howard. Saying hello to some of the locals along the way... quack!
Just back from breakie looked out the window to see amazing light on the lake. Wow! It's so beautiful here. So lucky!
Nyepi day in Bali. Silent at dawn. We cannot leave hotel today so booked one with large grounds. So beautiful here.
Lunch spot: Refugi de Juclar. Nippy at around 2300m up. Lake next door would be prettier if it hadn't been drained
This morning's ride was round a misty Lake Como. Menaggio to Bellagio. Shots on the ferry back home. Nice way to end.
Sitting on the balcony at dusk, looking across at the lights on the other side of Lake Como. Nice way to 'unwind'
Arrived in Menaggio & love the view. A few shots straight off the balcony. 12/85/300mm (DX) if you're wondering
In Italy, but had a look up a valley into Switzerland as we passed. Lakeside train station here: nice waiting room!
Late-ish afternoon ferry back across Lake Constance. Great day! Some nice craft bobbing about here too.
Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen. Completely unpronounceable! Is an open air museum of stilt houses we passed today.
By the shore of Lake Constance. It's huge, with beautiful clear water as you can see. Waiting for the Mainau ferry.
Lake Constance at sunset. Hanging out with the swans... although Pratiwi finds them big & scary any closer than this!
Lac de Mauvoisin. A dam if the tunnels & wall don't give it away How much better would it be without those though?
Ahhh... so this is what it looks like when the sun shines! By Lake Hallstatt - spectacular!
Rather overcast views across Lake Hallstatt. Pretty impressive all the same. Should look good on a blue sky day!
Königssee. Beautiful (allegedly the cleanest lake in Germany) but sadly only time for a very short walk here.
