Leaving Prestwood, travel to Annecy and first day there

Unbelievable agent  incompetence left us with wrong logon code in Annecy, hence delay. Code problem finally solved by our 14 year old grandson (who else?).

Before leaving the Windmill (the best rental we have ever had) we visited a family run farm cafe with shops and and a yurt cafe in a paddock, a short forest walk from Jacqui and Tom, Even the teacups are attractive. My cousin Valerie joined us.

The last day at the Windmill was frustrating for me as I tried desperately, for hours,  to change the hire car at Geneva . We needed a larger one. At the final hour, I got a webpage which allowed the change.

Swissair from Heathrow for just over an hour, saw us faced with the biggest minivan ever--Renault Trafic ,9 seater, which fortunately Michael offered to drive. We were diverted and finally arrived late at Talloires, near Annecy, in time to buy pizzas for  a late dinner. Caryl and Will had  left us to continue around the UK .

The next day we went down to the lake, after shopping and had a swim in very agreeable lake water, We felt so English sitting among all the other families. Some smiled at us a in a faint, pitying sort of way! There are some better pics than mine, being emailed to me.

The scenery is great and the mountains behind us attract hang gliders--I counted 45 at one stage all clustered over the mountains.
