Lake cruise

Went cruising on the lake, on a large boat, with a 3 course lunch. No charge for the stunning scenery of snow capped mountains and chateaus.
A bit of this makes everything better.
The lake waters are crystal clear. No one swimming yet, as it is just the beginning of Spring.

Annecy fun

We are slowly meeting up with more Mexettes along the way in preparation for the Quilt Expo where we have our exhibition. L-R  Eric aka Ian, Nick, Bob, Annette, Sue.
The old historic section of town is a delight to experience despite the hordes who flock here.
The canals make it the "Venice of the South".

The Imperial Palace

We are staying in Annecy, by the lake in L' Imperial Palace and it is living up to expectations.
Our third floor terrace is a great spot for late afternoon champagne and cheese with snow capped mountain peaks as the backdrop. No one is swimming in the icy lake waters yet, but there is a lot of strolling along the shores.

So lovely to see young families and the children learning to ride their bicycles.
