Weather very overcast and with poor visibility but in time it clears up enough for us to take the cable car up to La Bastille fort high above the river. To my own surprise no vertigo problems on this occasion.
Great views across the city of Grenoble now that the mist has cleared somewhat and decide to venture afield and take the fairly demanding walk up to the Memorial for the 150000 soldiers from various nations who died in mountainous regions during the World Wars. Amazed to see so many people of all ages using this steep climb up from the city as a training run!
Still astonished that no action seems to have been taken to stamp out the graffiti which is so evident throughout the city. As you will see from the blog photos no part of the city is immune from this curse and it is what prevents this fine city from fulfilling its potential.
Another good meal from Master Chef Gail all washed down by a bottle of chablis.
A good end to the day as we receive an email from Craig informing us that all is well in WA. On that positive note we get off to sleep by 11.00 after I have finished bringing my blog notes up-to-date.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret
