Sunday
Seriously we did go on a cruise today, Luc and Myriam led the way to Lac de Monteynard where we boarded the La Mira for a two and a half hour cruise. Fortunately for all those on board it wasn’t 3 hours otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to restrain the renditions of the Gilligan’s Island theme song. We were blessed with perfect weather and fine company for exploring this fine Hydro dam, the scenery was picture perfect and there were many exciting water sports taking place before us. We even had a chance to view the Chemin de fer de La Mure (the train we had taken only a week or so before) if the view had been impressive from the train it was even more so from the lake where the train appeared almost model like on the massive viaduct clinging to the edge of the monumental mountain side. I think Judy felt worse looking up at the train she had been on than when she actually rode on the same train. Our trip was punctuated by a surprise champagne lunch which appeared from Judy’s basket, mysterious things those baskets! On the way home we once again ventured to the base of St Hillier where today we were in time to see the Parapont and hang gliding action close up. Our day was summed up by Harrison who said “it was REALLY LOVELY” (Luc and Myriam will understand). Unfortunately like all great days this one too had to come to an end and as this was our last full day in France that meant time to pack our bags.
