Tour Day: 7
A nice relaxing bus ride, then to the Venice of the Alps (Annecy)!
Annecy needs to be on EVERYONE's bucketlist! When I tell you that this was the most picturesque place that I have ever seen in real life or in a movie! This place was SOOOOOOOO beautiful, words can't even adequately describe it, but I am going to try! When we arrived, you see the most blue green water in all of the canals, you see beautiful foot bridges everywhere, most of the town it pedestrians only...no cars to ruin the aesthetic! There are flowers in boxes on every bridge, in every sunny corner and hanging from window sills above. There are the most beautiful style buildings, and this is all before you get to the lake! Now, you walk towards the lake and you see white swans swimming in the light blue water, and then you look up and you see the most beautiful mountain, and when there is one mountain, there is two because everything reflects off of the turquoise blue water! It felt like a literal dream!

No wonder it's called the Venice of the Alps 😍




Is this a dream?

This little guy was so cute!! 🥰
Our guide Steve taking us on our orientation walk! We miss you Steve!


The water here was SO CLEAR! We couldn't believe our eyes at how blue it was! It was the most refreshing swim of my life! Our hotel once again was in walking distance of everything, including a beach!


Dinner...
Savoie Region Specialty = Fondue 😋


FUNNY ALERT 🚨
Our guide Steve told us that you "can't drink cold water with Fondue, you have to drink white wine!", so naturally we asked why not, and he told us we would get a CHEESE BALL in our stomach if we drank cold water...not sure if this was a joke or not...needless to say we drank the wine! Thanks Steve!
Evening Stroll






Tour Day: 8
Tour transportation from
Annecy -> Chamonix
Another Reason We Loved Our Tour Group!
This is a very low quality photo, but it makes me happy because I asked our guide about seeing a waterfall, and he told the bus that I wanted to see one, so our whole tour group was waterfall hunting for me! I just adored our tour group!


He told me after we were in the real life lift that he is afraid of both HEIGHTS and ENCLOSED SPACES...oops, too late! Worth it though!




Guys...don't look down!!!!

Ricola 🎶 ...oops, wrong country




Alpine Hut!





Another waterfall a tour member found for me!
Lunch on the side of a mountain?...Definitely a Rick Steves move!
More Savoie Region Food!


This was vegetarian!

Au revoir Annecy!
