Annecy

Mum and Dad gave us half the day off school and picked us up at lunchtime so we could go to Annecy which was a 4 hour drive over the mountains away.

As we were driving to our hotel we saw Tristan and Zoe's red number plate car and got excited and tried to wave to the but they didn't see us. After checking into our hotel we went to meet Zoe's family for a walk around the old town and have some dinner. We found a very pretty florist with lots of Teddies on the wall. The old town was really good, I liked the buildings, canals and the decorations in the windows.




Annecy is on a big lake called Lake Annecy. The next day we took a boat trip around the lake to see all the villages and a castle that was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty. There were lots of really nice houses and chateau's. I had fun on the boat but it was a bit cold.




After lunch Zoe left, then we went shopping and I bought a really nice handbag which I'd seen the day before.

On Sunday morning the weather got better so we decided to take a paddleboat out. We could see lots of ducks and a big fountain of water coming out of the lake. I got to pedal and steer the boat but the best thing was taking photos of the ducks.


 

Before we left to go home we had one last walk around the town. We found a bridge called "Lovers Bridge". Mum and Dad held hands on it but Emma and I pretended to have a fight.


I liked my weekend in Annecy, I rate it 9 out of 10. One point off because it was cold.
