Horses, goats and Lake Annecy

I suppose most folk think we head out to the Alps and walk up mountains, go biking and visit glaciers all the time. Well, sometimes we do. But sometimes you've just got to give in to the requests for slightly less adventurous past times.

Spent last week at Lake Annecy. Mostly hot and sunny. Loads to do. Not least of which was stay on the site and jump in the fantastic swimming pool and chase Sam down the water slide. Being unsupervised, anything goes, including 5 year olds on big slides. Try doing that in Fort William while the scowling attendants blow their whistles at you!

Anyway, there's also an animal park and 'Balade a Poney' just by the southern end of the lake. And it was a big hit. Meet Rocky and Flocky. Ridden by Calamity Jane and John Wayne. And they also have Hairy Coos from the Heilans!

Ahhh... Happy Holidays!
