The first full day in Annecy started a bit cloudy when we explored the old town and the castle
Back to the lake for a little break
Luckily the sun came out later in thr afternoon
Time for an break by the river
Evening view from our hotel rooom
After our short visit in Switzerland our next stop was Annecy in the Savoy region of France. It is only about two hours from Bern and we had haired good things about the town from our old neighbors in Arlington - so we had to check it out.
But first we started the day with a great breakfast
Before leaving for France we also had a great lunch at our friend's fathers place north of Bern
There Mia forgot her smartphone in the bathromm but the father jumped into his limited edition Marvel themed super car to bring it to her
Then we finally took of and reached Annecy in the late afternoon
Our hotel was only a 15 minute walk along the river from the old town and Lake Anncey
t was pretty busy along the river but we found a simple burger place for dinner
Our friends that live just outside Bern had prepared a great lunch for us - even with a stylish paper napkin
After lunch we headed to the city by tram.First stop was a park at the river Aare that offers a great view of the city and is the home to some bears - which is in the coat of arms of the city
hen we headed to the center of town
Outside the seat of the parliament
We then also went for a refreshing swin in a public pool - it was free but pretty cold. We also checked out an ice cream place that was very popular with a long line outside
We walked the way up to the old town after the swim - Mia took a cable car
