Week 3 of ‘Le Tour’ and we are nearing the end of this yearly armchair adventure! This week has been an uphill battle, both on the real tour and behind the scenes [i.e. the dull, yet demanding worklife of Julie].
So before we get ahead of ourselves and prepare for the final assault on Paris, I think we should all take some time to relax and enjoy this week’s tour highlight ... ‘The French Alps’

LESSON 1: Learning to breath
Take a slow deep breath!
And inhale the .. crisp .. clean .. pollution free air!
Now if your week has had you feeling …
a little on edge
And you want to just take off ..
and fly away
Then take a little trip with me…
OVER the peaks
and glaciers of Mont Blanc
THROUGH
the weaving valleys of the Rhone Alps
until we reach
the
Alpine Lakes
and … the ‘Venice’ of the French Alps
Annecy
with tree lined canals
AND colourful boats
Are you starting to unwind?
Maybe we should find somewhere
to stay
and enjoy the scenery?

LESSON 2: Learning to relax
The Lake House
Somewhere to relax
forget the world
Sleep in Late!
Laze Around pondering..
well.. nothing
and DREAM
It’s all too relaxing!
I guess we should see how those
crazy boys and their spoked jalopies
are doing
Standings at Stage 18
So what do you think?
Looks like a win for Contador, yes?
No matter the outcome
I think Lance’s performance has been ‘not too shabby’
See you next time…
in … PARIS !
