Miss Sybil and I left the Uk by Eurotunnel ....heading for France.....Miss Sybil is #sybilontour and is a small border terrier raising awareness for Huntington's Disease for our pal @jaq421 |
...after a long day's drive we arrived in the old town of Nancy for an evening stop over....we always insisted on some comfort... |
...all very arty....*sigh* |
...Nancy was very beautiful and interesting...well worth a short visit to see the old square and the historic buildings.... |
.....and home to a good hotel brekkie....very important for working terriers..... |
....we were taking TT's bike with us for some cycling in the mountains....more of that later.... |
....the next day we drove to Switzerland...to the old town of Bellinzona.....it is very famous for its castles...there are three of them... |
....Miss Sybil and I paid a visit to each one...this is the biggest one... |
....you can see the whole town from up on the battlements..... |
....a home fit for a Knight....BOL.... |
....but our eventual destination was the beautiful Hotel Rivalago in Sulzano on the banks of Lago d'Iseo in northern Italy....we had a room with a view.... |
...we visited the local market....they had cheese! |
...we took a trip on a ferry across the lake for dinner..... |
....but most of the time we just relaxed by the water.... |
...well, wouldn't you?.... |
...a spot of sight-seeing in Brescia....more castles as you can see.... |
Do you have this one in a small?... |
....but really there were precious few reasons to leave the lake....unless you were the typist...who spent his days cycling in the hills near the lake and getting lost and hungry...pfffft... |
.....he's out there somewhere.....tune in soon for part 2 to see if we ever see him again.... |
