Chaumont to Seyssel; Down the Lazy River

Today was 12 miles walked and 1,300’climbed for journey totals of 41 miles walked and 5,500′ climbed … so far.

The more things change, the more they remain the same … In Geneva, we took this picture of Diane on our balcony overlooking the very beginning of the Rhone River.

Three days later, we’re back on the Rhone, in Seyssel,  with Diane on our balcony …

This may become a theme as we continue westward!

Similarly, on our first day of hiking, we snapped a photo of an interesting canyon in the distance to the west, as:

Today, that canyon is to our East, as:

So, that’s what 41 miles of walking buys you, a different perspective!

Yesterday afternoon, after we made it to our day’s stop, we took a hike to the top of a nearby hill. Amazing views! While it will likely not do justice to the true view, here’s a photo of Mont Blanc from that hilltop.

It’s been a good day. Cleaning, eating and resting await.  Bis spater.

  1. So much beauty! I’m taking it all in vicariously through you. Great pictures. Now, to the top 10 questions that inquiring minds wish to know.
    1. How many miles total is your planned walk?
    2. How many days are you planning to walk?
    3. Where do you stay at night? Private ends, residence?
    4. Do they serve breakfast and dinner?
    5. What do you do for lunch?
    6. I know they don’t have café con leche, but is Diane able to get her coffee in the morning? You too Bill.
    7. How are your feet and legs holding up?
    seven questions is all I got for now, so I’ll follow up with three additional ones at a different time. Thanks! And happy hiking.

  2. Love the updates. Glad you found your way back to the path. The Medieval Amusement park could’ve been an interesting start to a Twilight Zone episode.

    1. Rebekah, you appear to have a knack for great “themes” for these posts! We need to consult you for our daily topic ideas! Thanks for being a part of our journey.
