At the lakes

Nice short presentation about a different type of mattress today (opurest?) then about an hours drive up to the lakes. Very picturesque.

We were asked if we wanted to pre-order lunch on the way, 3 courses for €11 or a baguette for €5.50 but I resisted. I'd been given a tip to get off the bus, follow the road for about 100 yards and go to the bar/cafe there.

Did this and was very glad I did. The guide had only just finished taking the orders when we arrived and the restaurant was very much in the shade.

A few others from the coach also found my little bolt hole so we just sat in the sun and chatted for a while before heading back to the bus.

It was the guide's first day which certainly made it an interesting excursion. The chap behind me was more knowledgeable.  All in all it was a good day especially considering it was free!
