Cafe at lunch has copies of 'Il Gelatiere': a magazine dedicated to ice cream. Someone approves! Only in Italy? 
Tarasp: a typical Swiss mountain village... with a castle. Beautiful blue skies and flowers everywhere. Niiiice!
A walk around Tarasp, Avrona & Lai Nair (sort of mountain peat bog place - hence the boards). Beautiful day for it 
Dinner in Lavin. Wild deer (it's hunting season) & sausage skewers. And desert of course. Yum! 
Gratuitous border shot But footpath abruptly stopped on Liechtenstein side so went back & used the wooden bridge.
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!
Pratiwi with a few interesting fashion items. Not about the helmet, but the other pieces get a thumbs up.
Dinner at Hotel Oberland. I have slab of pork wrapped in bacon on rösti, all topped with herb butter stuff. Yum!
These pick-your-own-leave-some-cash flower fields seem to be popular in a few European countries. Brilliant!
Pratiwi enjoying the balcony outside our room. Nice traditional guest house here in Reit im Winkl.
Paddling in the river Isar. By the strange little toll road through Karwendel und Karwendelvorgebirge Nature Reserve.
Babi hutan!!!! Right outside our hotel (apartment) here in Farchant (lovely place). Scary if it wasn't so tame!
Upon arrival in Farchant... enjoying complimentary cakes, coffee & tea. We even had to decline a second helping!
Pratiwi looking out from our room. Rather quaint place in Schotten which was very quite & perhaps a bit eccentric?
Dinner in Schotten. What else but beer & schnitzel? Nice place but so quite. Think we have whole hotel to ourselves!
Pratiwi was so happy to find an Indonesian restaurant here in Vaals. Great food! The Dutch colonial connection helps.
Messing about at Mont St-Michel. Hmmm... we like these goodies. Handy since they were dishing a lot out at the TdF
Another Paris café moment. More duck, more Leffe but this time mixed with a burger. Yum!
Lunch in Jardin des Tuileries. Best part (as seems to be the case with most places in Paris) was the large desert!
When in France... in summer... it just had to be done. Messing about in a field of sunflowers of course!
Evening picnic by le Plan d'Eau de Mialet (Mialet dam). Took a random road in search of a quiet spot and voilà!
Very nice lunch at Auberge du Parc, Hautefort. Perch wrapped in some crispy pastry stuff and other goodies. Yum!
More duck as dinner for me. Foie gras (as we are so close to Thiviers) & veal for Pratiwi. Plus huge deserts. Yum!
Pratiwi & Vanilla the (short eared) rabbit. Cute... when she's not feeling frisky (the rabbit that is!)
Light lunch on the gîte terrace. Bit cloudy on the mountains behind but the sun is shining on us at the moment!
Almost home and still enjoying the trip & views. I think this is by the Serre la Vignasse but don't hold me to that!
Rolling green hills around Lac de Serre-Ponçon & Pratiwi pointing out the location of her dream home
Just hanging in the sun (while it lasts) & having a good time watching the goings on. Now... where are those riders!?
Time to go home. Oh go on then... just one more free snack. This time prosciutto wrapped bread sticks. Yuuuum!
Barriers a bit high? I say, "We need a pile of bricks" Look around to find half a kerb stone in the bushes. Job done!
Walking around some more... on the finishing straight and having a look at one of the merchandise stalls.
Literally 2 minutes after walking into the promo area Pratiwi is weighed down with freebies. Time to find a free bag!
Lunch in Malaucène. Entrée and main... don't think desert was on the table long enough for a picture
Integrating at the local 'Flower Festival'. Not many flowers, but they had crêpes & other goodies so who cares?
Pratiwi is the pink dot on the left here. Not being extra brave - just that's where the path was. Absolutely amazing!
Today's cycling shot: Pratiwi overlooking the river just outside Mialet. She quite liked it here
Hmmmmmmmmm... Cookies 
Pratiwi is so happy with her home made baking. Yeah, I won't complain either
Almost didn't go to Vaujany, but beautiful run & what a view coming back! Plus snaps from earlier inc. our picnic
Spot the difference today? Someone's on a rest day and someone else deserves a beer after his energetic morning
Pratiwi enjoying a little treat from the patisserie that seems to have become a breakfast staple already!
Huge choice of all you can eat desert for 6€. Dangerous if the main wasn't so enormous neither of us had room for it!
