Woke up in Bellegarde to this...
...spent the morning in La Roche sur Foron
...and eventually arrived in Saint Michel de Maurienne, looking forward to lots of this (that's the Col de Télégraphe outside my window).
I've been very lucky with the AirBNB experiences on this trip. Peter in Linz, Hicham in Bellegarde were both great, and Isabelle (my French host) is delightful. Last night I joined her and some friends for a BBQ (but declined the cognac!) - it's really testing out my French to be thrown in the deep end but I'm loving it really. I've asked Isabelle to talk as much as possible en Français - if I don't understand and set fire to the house or leave it unlocked, that's just bad luck. Seriously though, this is fantastic - I forgot she even has a pool! Great because it's scorching hot and I'll be cactus after the rides I've got planned this week.
