Travel, CH, chilling and more VTT....

KK was coming to town and we were ready to rock to Italy for a little vacation before she started her new J-O-B in October. She arrived Friday and after a little nap we were off to the Liguria region of Italy. We arrived at our hotel around 9ish on a nice night. We stayed at the Hotel L'Approdo in Rapallo This place had a great view:

The next day we woke up and decided to check out the beach in Rapallo:

After a little walk KK was feeling a little under the weather so we relaxed at the hotel and chilled. Later in the day we headed to Portofino for a little walk:


On the way we saw this nice lady teaching her friend to ride a bike....hilarious..and cute at the same time:

After a nice 6KM walk we had a little lunch in Portofino and headed back to the hotel. That night KK was still not feeling well so we decided that it would be the best to head back to Geneva the next day to recoup. Sunday was a drive back to Geneva and a little scare. KK was sleeping and we were heading in Aosta. Gas was not an issue until the 3 rest stops I passed were closed! Oooopppsss! EMPTY:

...luckily on fumes I made it to the next rest stop (thanks Subie for the good mileage) and everything was chill. We entered the Mt. Blanc tunnel ready to get back to CH:
Monday KK started to kick the illness and we went to Ikea to hook up with some gear. The day was chill and we returned to Geneva and assemble the new ware for the flat. Tuesday rolled around and KK was almost 100%. We decided that we would check you the X-mas Chalet in Leysin. We arrived and took a walk to see if we can find the place and we did...it is perfect!


Local cows...MOOOOWWW:

Lunch in Leysin:

The day ended with a little Fondue at "chez moi"...KK was feeling MUCH better!
Wedneday was another off day and we were off to Annecy. It was a perfect day!


A sick lunch...this place ruled....7 Euros!

The day ended with a little chilling in Geneva and ready to return to work on Thursday. The next two days were relaxed and KK and I worked.
Satuday morning at 5AM arrived and KK was off to the airport. (I miss you too)..but I was off for some VTT with Jay, Tom, and new riders Peter and Robert. The day was another picture perfect one...getting ready to rock!

The crew...L to R.... Tom, Peter, Robert, and Jay:

The riding was great and I returned home to chill with P+P. Sunday was a down day and today it was back to work. A great week overall! As always more to come this weekend. -GG
