Re: French/Swiss/Italian Alps '18 (too many pics)
Day 4 I didn't have any route planned and just looked on google terrain for hilly twisty areas, while also avoiding the rain clouds. It turned out to be a good plan. I found great roads with views to match. I just had to take it a bit slower because the roads were a bit wet from the morning showers
I first went up the hairpin hills just south of Geneva, which revealed a pretty epic view point https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1792/...422863bb_b.jpg More hilltop cows blessed with amazing views! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1837/...6ba5c298_b.jpg Looking down on Geneva https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1777/...9f76b480_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1840/...644be62a_b.jpg He still hadn't fixed that leak https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1777/...d71af5c6_b.jpg Down the other side https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1771/...2070ba28_b.jpg Continuing to explore east https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1840/...4c807636_b.jpg Sunbathing cow https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1792/...cf77ce41_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1813/...2f2cc3a0_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1777/...ae46dbf2_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1838/...d41ce41e_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1814/...b8fb3d43_b.jpg The guy on the left is waving at me :) https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1839/...f14dfdbc_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1832/...288ffdc7_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1834/...769b3d14_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1795/...e723065e_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1831/...2233c16d_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1778/...dc7102e1_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1820/...afde050f_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1835/...66cfe94a_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1820/...e6368cc0_b.jpg And that's it! The next 2 days were blasting back on the motorways wishing I had more time. I could spend months and month exploring and never get bored :D |

Absolutely stunning set of pictures Darren. Looks like it was an epic trip!

Re: French/Swiss/Italian Alps '18 (too many pics)
Don't see the attraction myself. Looks just like Hertfordshire. [emoji16]

Re: French/Swiss/Italian Alps '18 (too many pics)
I'd rather see pictures of motorways

Amazing views, although the lack of snow in the ski resort (which was that by the way) was a bit disturbing ...
