From here we went west along a very deep lake Walensee and had a traditional lunch overlooking it.

We continued thru the countryside and finally up the Klausenstrasse pass. This is another stunning hairpin pass thru the mountains.

This is where we got these great shots of Tragoutt and he turned back towards home several hours away.

We had almost 200 km to go to Brig and it was 5 pm.
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5741/...929fb1f2_c.jpgbrig 52 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr By the time we got to the Passo della Novena it was dark and pouring. The last ten minutes to the summit were pretty scary since it was dark, pouring, 1.5 degrees and on hairpins. It got better on the descent and warmed to 8 degrees. We still had 40 km to go along the valley to Brig. We had booked a hotel or we never would have driven in these dangerous conditions….lesson learned…..again. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5744/...c632e9f6_c.jpgtarascon 13 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr |
Today we are going to visit our friends Franck and Laurence near Lyon. We had met them in Urubici Brazil earlier this year.

Heading out from Brig it was drizzling, but this did not last long and by Chamonix/Mont Blanc it was sunnyish.

We kept to the small mountain roads to Albertville and then with the pouring rain we opted for the dreaded toll road for the last 100 km. This cost 14 dollars, but saved us over an hour in heavy rain and got us to their house only 30 min later than we had arranged. They welcomed us to their country house and tucked out bikes in the garage for a few days.

Franck had big plans for us for the visit and a lot of it involved eating! He did have to adjust things because of Daniel’s injury.

After this we visited (not so great for the big guy) the old city with its cobbled street and several more large churches.

There are hundreds of hidden passageways weaving thru the old quarters of Lyon. They are public rights of way and so as long as you respect the residents you are free to traverse the Traboules.

We took the metro to the Place Bellecour and to see the Fontaine Bartholdi, which was created by the builder of the Statue of Liberty. We had several views of the Rhone and Soane!
