Day 3, hope you're not getting a big brother voice yet!

For day 3 we had planned a bit if a loop initially up into the alps and Chamonix then back round toward lake Geneva to stop near Evain les Bains, yes where the mineral water comes from. 
I'd looked forward to sweeping mountain roads and and impressive views this day. And to an extent to got them. What we also got was increasingly more traffic, much of it gravel type lorries difficult to pass safely. And for the last 15 miles or so drizzle and rain with low cloud. We had a nice tarte citron in a cafe though so it was still worth the ride. And the mountain pass we came across toward out hotel was wonderful, if a little damp. The villages were just about in Switzerland and looked very, well Swiss I guess you'd say. I think another trip that way to,take in more will be on the cards. Possibly to be read about in my cycling blog though. 
We ended the day at another, our last, formula 1 hotel, and a pizza. The sun shone for us at the end of the day.
