Vendredi le 2 janvier -Home we go!

Awoke with Seph saying she had a really sore tummy – 15 minutes later she was sick. Then more amazingly Hermione was sick too in another 15 minutes. Couldn’t work out why – as they were both fine after the initial expulsion! We all had had the same food the night before – a mystery!
I have never known my children to have so many vomiting bugs. Up until now they were extremely rare and had only a couple in their whole lives.
We hit the road for Lake Annecy which sits near the Swiss border and is the gateway to the ski resort of Chamonix and Mont Blanc! It is a beautiful town and reminds me of Wanaka and Queenstown with all the snowy mountains and après ski crowd. The old town has the little narrow lanes that we have become very used to and the streets criss cross over waterways which make it quaint.
I was also dying to try a cheese fondue – a regional dish and very popular when you are finished skiing. We found a restaurant that suited everyone and we ordered the fondue – cheese mixed with white wine, that comes with a basket full of bite sized pieces of bread to dip. Nev had a couple but wasn’t too fussed. I lasted longer but it was so rich – I think the idea is you share it with a large group of people OR skip the cheese fondue go straight to chocolate fondue!
On the road again with about 1:30 hours to Besancon.
Unpacked the car – loads of washing on and not much in the house for tea! We were all pleased to be home though.
