Today we headed to Lac Léman – or as it’s known in English Lake Geneva. This meant a new country for me and Cath – Switzerland.


The water in the lake was so clear that I could clearly see how a coot uses its feet to swim and how a great crested grebe swims underwater – it does breast stroke legs


There were plenty of boats in the harbour.


And the snow-capped mountains were never far away.

Then it was on round the lake to Evian – but not before a trip to a Swiss coffee/chocolate shop.

We drove for about an hour but Lac Léman was always there.

In Evian you can fill up your water bottle from the source for free. You just have to follow les gouttes.


The lake is 73km long so it’s no surprise it kept us company all day. Evian-les-bains is beautiful – we will definitely be back.
