Back in Devon
A good, if long (and rather longer than anticipated) last day in the Drôme yesterday: a quick blast up to Col de Rousset on the bike (it was windless and cool for the effort), then an early lunch at home, before setting off to Geneva in hire car. The drive there was easy enough (and very scenic), but firstly Google Maps directions for the French-side Hertz Car Hire were incorrect (they sent me to the Swiss side), then, having gone round in circles for thirty minutes (next time I’ll just set if for ‘Ferney-Voltaire douanes’!), the flight was delayed by 90 minutes because the French strikes had disrupted air traffic control over French airspace all day.
At least all was very efficient when I got back to Bristol, with no real queues to go through border control, or collecting the key for my car, for the drive back home. But it was rather late!
Anyway, here’s a happy me after having done the ascent in about 65 minutes…
