After we left Chamonix we headed to this beautiful lake that John had picked by scanning the aire’s book. The aire was pretty full but we managed to jag a spot closest to the lake next to a lovely English couple … Fred and Gwen. Fred had turned seventy the day before and was in great shape. I am interested to stay in touch and pick his brain, as they have taken their van into Morocco.

We headed down to the water and I was pleasantly surprised by how warm it was. Way warmer than Croatia.

We both jumped in and had a lovely swim. Then walked around the lake a bit before cooking dinner.

The next morning we went for another walk across the dam wall.

Followed by another swim before we headed off. Once again I shoved some shampoo on my head, scrubbed my hair and then swam out. Beautiful!

This is our kind of camping!

Then it was time to head to the farm, another 5 hours drive.
