Reply to "Pre-LMC trip to the Swiss Alps"

Then a 100 km of winding roads, and then it was highway rest of the day more or less. In France I got blitzed once by a stationary camera when I was doing an apparently highly criminal 116 km/h on a long steep downhill where 110 was the limit. When I got blitzed twice in one day 4 years ago in France, fines never arrived, let’s hope not. The roads were great, shame about the limits. Normal limit is 130, then I saw a sign saying 110 km/h the next 40(!) km, for your safety. Thanks a lot!

I dived into Lyon Airport to see if I could pick up some company, and indeed I was lucky, my wife arrived. So no more quiet in the car, no more opera either. Only after-26-years-of-marriage conversation. Which is not too bad…We lunched on sandwiches in the car, and drove on, looking forward to seeing everybody again and some new faces, people I had communicated with on the forums with but never met before.

The scenery got a little less interesting the last part, roads were fine, so a constant 130 km/h was the norm. We arrived just after 4 pm, soapprox. 9 hours for me, so I was a bit tired. It was a hotel apparently known for their tame goose, I thought it was dinner.
