We do actually do lots of studying here, even if it seems like we may not haha...This was sort of spontaneous day trip to a place where we had heard tons of good things about, and after seeing pictures, we decided we had to visit.
This time we Elisa and I went with a big group of friends and it turned out to be such a fun trip, despite the somewhat freezing cold weather!
Once again we caught the train nice and early at 7:30 (we just made it in time too....silly Metro was not working on time!) and spent the whole day wandering out the town. It was absolutely gorgeous and parts of it were just like Venice which was really cool. Annecy felt as if it were out of a fairytale. Even though it was pretty cold and dreary the day we went, it was still beautiful. Its a small town with a lake surrounded by snow capped mountains. Its very old and all the streets are cobblestone and meant for walking.
After attempting to brave the rain in the morning, we had to give in and take refuge in the local QuickBurger haha..luckily for us it cleared up a bit while we were inside and we were able to go back outside in the now very strong wind and take lots of pictures around the lake and do some shopping for warmer clothes! Hannah ended up with new waterproof boots, i ended up with new pants as my skirt and tights were NOT warm enough, and our mexican friend Omar ended up with a new tuque! We were all much happier after that. :)
We did lots of sightseeing, bought some delicious pretty chocolates to try...except for Giacomo who had to try 100% cocoa chocolate with no sugar...haha we all tried it and regretted it...blah. Its been decided that the sugar is definitely necessary.
We stopped for a warm up in a local pub and after climbing a hill to see the castle and church, the rain started up again and we decided it was time to head home!
It was a great day, lots of fun and VERY pretty.
Next stop will be Paris and i`m sure i`ll have lots to say about that:)
