We then headed around Annecy and up the valley towards La Cluzas we needed some supplies and found an Inter-marche.
Since setting out we have had very few problems with the truck but the cooker ignition had given up the ghost, I bought some matches from the Inter-marche to solve the problem then a few miles up the road spotted this electrical shop
I removed the offending switch and headed in looking for a new one, the two guys didn't speak a word of English and didn't have a replacement. They did however take the switch upstairs and returned after five minutes and pronounced in stereo "repair". I thanked them and they refused to take any money, I returned to the truck, re fitted the switch and it now works perfectly. How they managed it I don't know as it is a sealed unit.....magic electricians reside in this valley!!
I pressed on up the valley and the road got interesting
The path soon ran out
But the sun started to shine.....you will see in this blog that my never ending supply of Wanderers shirts
Back to today, we were passed by a horse and sled, they didn't stop to give us a lift.
This valley is renowned for ski mountaineering and right on cue three guys passed us.
Back at the bottom there was a small frommagerie making and selling fresh goats cheese.
So fresh you could smell the goats.....I got one with lime and herbs.
Well fish for tea then I can't wait to ski again tomorrow.
The truck has made it well above the snow line without a problem but how anyone got that fiesta up here I just don't know.
