Sunday 6th September.

Spent the weekend relaxing in temperatures of 32c. Only left the shade of the site to travel to one of the many beaches for a swim in the lake . Left Annecy Sunday early to travel to Le Bourg de Oissons in the alps hoping for cooler temps. However on arrival temps here were 32c. Lovely little pool on site to cool off.

Cycle ride to Doussard.

Was due to set off 10am but discovered puncture on barbs bike. Repaired but decided to nip to bank. Eventually set off for Doussard about 2.30. Pleasant ride through tunnels etc but yet again found dogs not allowed on beach at Doussard. Headed back to plage near site and swam there. Heatwave of 35c temps expected at weekend.

Thursday 3rd september.

Yesterday, Wednesday, we caught the bus outside the site and went into Annecy Town. Had a nice coffee, people watched,walked in the park,strolled the prom and then went and had lunch. Buses really easy and on time.

Tuesday 1st September.

Went out on bike early morning to check ot availability at other sites...all full . Had a cycle around and started to realise the site we are on is fine. Easy access to cycle paths, bus stops virtually outside, Aldi, Lidl and all the best beaches about 10 minute bike ride. It'll do. Heatwave on the way and our pitch is well shaded. Cycled back to site and paid for 3 more nights at 21 euros a night, nice lunch then cycled to St Jorioz plage for a lovely swim.

Sunday 30th August.

Arrived at the Vermenton site only to realise that we came here last year and loved it then,so peaceful. Monday 31st August left Vermenton and arrived at Annecy to find most of the sites full. Pitched at Camping les Champs Fleuris a 10 minute walk to lake beaches . Tonight is 36 euros but this drops to 21 tomorrow when Acsi rates kick in. It's not quite what we wanted but will do unless we get a better option tomorrow.

Got the 07.50 ferry to Calais, took off on time and arrived on time. Drove to another favourite of ours the municipal site at Sezanne. Stopped 2 nights but not warm enough for the great pool. Saturday walked into town,browsed through the charity shop, had a coffee and got back for liverpool game on telly.

Thursday 27th August

Left our house a6 6.30am to travel down to Chichester on south coast to have our flyscreen repaired. Didnt hit any serious traffic but it still took 6 hours. Job done and set off toward Ashford in Kent. Another 3 hours to get to our regular pub stop at Boughton Lees.....The Flying Horse. Great meal and a few pints, i keep telling people how good this place is.
