My last full day out while living in Switzerland was an afternoon in Evian (France). Yes it is the place the the bottled water you buy from the shops comes from. It is an old pretty town on Lac Leman.
Myself, Izzy, Toni, Amy (Toni's best mate from South Africa who is an Au Pair here too) and Iveta all bundled into the car and met my friend Kari there. It was my only day to hang out fully with Toni and Amy, who are a laugh a minute! It was a long drive because we ended up going round in circles trying to find a large bottle of Evian Water to take a photo with.....apparently it exists, but we settled for a sign outside the factory instead.
We didn't stay long because it was a freezing day with the cold wind whipping across the lake. It is a place full of quirky little shops though. Best door handle goes to the one that looks like a book!
I can now say that I have drank Evian water from a fountain in Evian that the water from the spring runs out of. Many photos were taken of everyone in out little group that may have held all the people up who were actually filling several bottles to take back to their homes. It's pretty cool to be able to do that. Not cool to have to lug around a ton of water back to your house every other day.
After everyone warming up with some hot chocolate in a little cafe we called it a day once we had walked along the lake and back to the car.
That night I was left with the reality of having to pack! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!
One more to go!
