Day 64 Thursday 22nd June:
What a great little alpine village is Annott. We could have stayed here for a few days but we needed to check out the wheel wobble before the weekend. So we broke camp at a leisurely rate and headed down the Var Valley towards Nice.
Outstanding scenery all the way, but when we thought we couldn’t be surprised anymore, around the bend came the delightful village of Entrevaux. What an incredible setting for a village – very strategic back in the middle-ages. It is literally the entrance to the valley – who ever controlled this village controlled the access to the valley – and to France.
At Entrevaux we also had our steering/wheel problem checked out by the garage man – thank heavens for Google translator! We pin-pointed the problem using the translator! The problem was in faulty tyres at the back. When asked what we owed him, after about an hour looking at it, he said “Nothing – I only looked!” He then organised for new tyres to be fitted at Nice.
Off to Nice, new tyres , and the night at the Aire in St Laurent–sur-Var. Speaking with a French and Belgium guy until about 11.pm.
