Day Ten 7th September 08

Lake Garda Annecy and Austria !

miles 1832 (for me)

How fast long does it take to burst a balloon?

This morning after a long and thoughtful night I have decided to go home, some will ask why, some won't care, many will just make asumption's, my reasons are just that........mine, sorry.

I am now back in Annecy, France, and Mike I am told is in Austria, somewhere. I hope he is well and completes the task he and I dreamt of for so long. Sometime in the future I will explain to a few but for now....................................

The journey home has brought me to Annecy a place first visited when we stopped here on our shift trip to Le Plagne, skiing, it is a great old town in fantastic part of France. Why here? Well I did get to do the tunnel, Mont Blanc, and all the one's before and after. It is weird that a tunnel so long can be so warm all the 'smaller' one's either side are so cold and a little cloustraphobic especially the one of 5000m + But the big one is so warm, why I had to undo me jacket, just a little!

Mike once said he met a French lass who said "why leave France to go on holiday, we have it all here" how right she is, they even have "Mickey" now ................sad that eh?

Sorry guy's but for me the trip is closing so no more spelling mistake to get smug about, well maybe a few to come. I hope mike picks up the thread or his good lady on his behalf. that would be sooooo nice.
