Day 60

We left Chamonix this morning heading towards Evian le Bains and Lake Geneva or Lac Leman as it is correctly known, then on into Switzerland. Lac Leman is truly quite a sight as it is more like a sea than a lake with motor yachts playing about on it. The scenery really changes as you head over the boarder into Switzerland, and I thing the main differences are not particularly the landscape but in what man does with it. The swiss houses are ALL beautifully kept, with flowers hanging from every window, every inch of the land is kept mown perfectly. Where as in England and France for that matter a farmer will cut the grass in his field leaving the edges and awkward slopes and corners to continue to grow, not in Switzerland every inch is mown to perfection. It really is quite some sight seeing the way they cultivate the land, some of the slopes that you see them mowing and then gathering the grass for hay it is almost impossible to imagine walking up them let alone driving a tractor up them. The down side to Switzerland is areas to park your camper van, they are almost impossible to find, we ended up parking in one of the very few and far between lay bys in the road just out side Oberwill.
