Today started really well in the apartment. Lisa and I went for a wander and bought sone pain au chocolat and croissants. As you can see, our all butter croissants clearly needed more butter.
Despite this however, we did manage to get ourselves on the road and down toward Chamonix. Getting into the Mont Blanc tunnel we spent an age under a mountain before finally popping out in Italy.
From here it was a relatively short trip down the autostrada to Aosta. In town there is a beautiful cobbled area with narrow streets and lots of properly Italian looking shops. When we stopped for meal number two in country number two we decided to get a few things off the menu that we weren't sure about.
This worked out really well apart from with Nancy whos risotto nero really was simply a black risotto. Given the fishy taste Lisa and I thought this was full of squid ink but both thought better of mentioning it before Nancy had finished it.
Afterwards, we drove up over te mountain to our next stop on the border of Italy and Switzerland. By this time the weather was turning and we were in some pretty heavy rain before making our way to Montreaux for meal number three in country number three.
And that was that really. After thinking it was going to clear up we then had a drive through really heavy rain back to the apartment and some high hopes for a sunny day tomorrow.
