Cafe at lunch has copies of 'Il Gelatiere': a magazine dedicated to ice cream. Someone approves! Only in Italy? wink

11:20

Tarasp: a typical Swiss mountain village... with a castle. Beautiful blue skies and flowers everywhere. Niiiice!

09:55

A walk around Tarasp, Avrona & Lai Nair (sort of mountain peat bog place - hence the boards). Beautiful day for it smile

17:40

Dinner in Lavin. Wild deer (it's hunting season) & sausage skewers. And desert of course. Yum! tongue

09:20

Gratuitous border shot wink But footpath abruptly stopped on Liechtenstein side so went back & used the wooden bridge.

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!

09:45

Pratiwi with a few interesting fashion items. Not about the helmet, but the other pieces get a thumbs up.

09:38

Finally... a bike sized for Pratiwi? wink

16:00

Dinner at Hotel Oberland. I have slab of pork wrapped in bacon on rösti, all topped with herb butter stuff. Yum! tongue

11:20

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

13:45

These pick-your-own-leave-some-cash flower fields seem to be popular in a few European countries. Brilliant!

14:40

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

13:10

Pratiwi enjoying the balcony outside our room. Nice traditional guest house here in Reit im Winkl.

10:20

Paddling in the river Isar. By the strange little toll road through Karwendel und Karwendelvorgebirge Nature Reserve.

09:00

Babi hutan!!!! Right outside our hotel (apartment) here in Farchant (lovely place). Scary if it wasn't so tame! wink

16:40

Upon arrival in Farchant... enjoying complimentary cakes, coffee & tea. We even had to decline a second helping! tongue

06:40

Pratiwi looking out from our room. Rather quaint place in Schotten which was very quite & perhaps a bit eccentric? wink

18:15

Dinner in Schotten. What else but beer & schnitzel? Nice place but so quite. Think we have whole hotel to ourselves!

18:15

Pratiwi was so happy to find an Indonesian restaurant here in Vaals. Great food! The Dutch colonial connection helps.

08:30

Messing about at Mont St-Michel. Hmmm... we like these goodies. Handy since they were dishing a lot out at the TdF tongue

10:30

Pratiwi & the sunflowers... take two! grin

17:25

Another Paris café moment. More duck, more Leffe but this time mixed with a burger. Yum! tongue

11:30

Lunch in Jardin des Tuileries. Best part (as seems to be the case with most places in Paris) was the large desert! tongue

13:30

Wait a second... this isn't France! Passing through Geneva on the way to the Alps. smile

10:35

When in France... in summer... it just had to be done. Messing about in a field of sunflowers of course!

17:10

Evening picnic by le Plan d'Eau de Mialet (Mialet dam). Took a random road in search of a quiet spot and voilà! smile

11:00

Very nice lunch at Auberge du Parc, Hautefort. Perch wrapped in some crispy pastry stuff and other goodies. Yum! tongue

17:45

More duck as dinner for me. Foie gras (as we are so close to Thiviers) & veal for Pratiwi. Plus huge deserts. Yum! tongue

19:10

Pratiwi & Vanilla the (short eared) rabbit. Cute... when she's not feeling frisky (the rabbit that is!) wink

11:55

Light lunch on the gîte terrace. Bit cloudy on the mountains behind but the sun is shining on us at the moment! smile

16:25

Almost home and still enjoying the trip & views. I think this is by the Serre la Vignasse but don't hold me to that!

14:30

Rolling green hills around Lac de Serre-Ponçon & Pratiwi pointing out the location of her dream home wink

08:50

Just hanging in the sun (while it lasts) & having a good time watching the goings on. Now... where are those riders!?

15:45

Time to go home. Oh go on then... just one more free snack. This time prosciutto wrapped bread sticks. Yuuuum! tongue

13:55

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!

13:05

Walking around some more... on the finishing straight and having a look at one of the merchandise stalls.

12:31

Literally 2 minutes after walking into the promo area Pratiwi is weighed down with freebies. Time to find a free bag!

12:00

Lunch in Malaucène. Entrée and main... don't think desert was on the table long enough for a picture wink

17:40

The girls at dinner in Vaison-la-Romaine. A little celebration as it's been a while smile

11:20

Integrating at the local 'Flower Festival'. Not many flowers, but they had crêpes & other goodies so who cares? wink

09:40

Pratiwi is the pink dot on the left here. Not being extra brave - just that's where the path was. Absolutely amazing!

15:00

Rainy day in the Gite.

12:27

Today's cycling shot: Pratiwi overlooking the river just outside Mialet. She quite liked it here smile

15:51

Hmmmmmmmmm... Cookies grin Pratiwi is so happy with her home made baking. Yeah, I won't complain either wink

15:06

Almost didn't go to Vaujany, but beautiful run & what a view coming back! Plus snaps from earlier inc. our picnic smile

12:30

Spot the difference today? Someone's on a rest day and someone else deserves a beer after his energetic morning smile

18:30

Dinner of duck & lamb in a very nice cost restaurant. Yuuuuum tongue

08:00

Pratiwi enjoying a little treat from the patisserie that seems to have become a breakfast staple already!

18:50

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!
