Our Other Home!

We have been travelling back from Brittany to the Rhone Alpes over the last few weeks. We spent a few days travelling around Brittany mainly to test out the camping car. Then we drove down to Lyon where we spent 3 days in the very average and quite expensive Camping International campsite in Dardilly. While here we spent a day in Lyon.  I find Lyon a strange place - it never seemed very big to me , but every time I visit I seem to see another part of the city. It also helped that it was warm - 18oC at 6pm in late November!

After Lyon we went to La Chapelle Blanche, a small village on the road between Chambery and Albertville and home to our good friends Ben and Isabelle. They have been so kind to us since we met them and their latest generous act involved having a 7.5m camping car parked on their drive for a week! While in Chambery we tidied up some paperwork at the local 'prefecture' (like a town hall) - always good fun dealing with the French buerocracy... We also dropped off some of our things in Ben and Isabelles garage and helped them out with a little painting and decorating.

With (almost!) all paperwork done we are officially free to travel! Next stop Strasbourg!
