Lovely Sunday morning, and Krishan and myself headed to Evian les Baines (France) on our bikes. Now, here is a question. If there is the same distance from Evian to Lausanne as from Lausanne to Evian, how is it possible that when you look at the french side from Lausanne you do not see any building (although you can see the town) but when you look back from Evian you can see buildings on the swiss side... optical ilusion?!? I tried taking pictures but the beautiful quality (not) on the Iphone camera did not allow me to show you what I mean.
And we landed of the beaches and run for cover.... erm... excuse me. Wrong story.
Krishan decided that he wanted to have a crepe and see the water fountain where you are supposed to drink mineral water. So, naturally, first things first. We went for the Crepe. Right next to Evian-les-Baines Hilton hotel (in the hope that we would see Paris, lol)

Hun, you need to try this too. Perfect breakfast crepe for hungovers: egg, bacon, cream, cheese and ham. Delicious!!! and a chocolate one as dessert (damm, did not take any pics of them, totally worth it).
We had to ask the waitress for directions on how to get to the fountain and to be honest, what would you think if you ask for directions and the person asked says: "oh, I don't know" (and then goes ahead and tells you how to go with distances in mtrs and all).
We followed the instructions and, et voila, 4 minutes later (by bike and uphill, yous for you to imagine how big Evian is) we were at the fountain.
Best of all. There was a queue of people with empty bottles of Evian mineral water to get them filled and take them home.
And we did the tourist thing
And here is the thing: you'd expect the water to taste better/different/something
Well....no. Same taste as on the other side of the lake. I am starting to believe that Evian mineral water is just tap water in a plastic bottle.
So after finding that out, we made it back to Lausanne.
Round trip: 2 hrs with tourist visit and crepe on top. Not bad for a Sunday.

Hurray for one day trips and for water-tasting water!!!
Menos coña marinera jejejejeje
algo habria q hacer, vamos digo yo. Y la tentacion de saltar de un pais a otro como el q cruza del Puerto de Sta Maria a Cadiz en el Vaporcito (pero con menos oleaje) es demasiada como para resistirse.
Wat er waste ey???
Que guay la gente con las botellas de plastico para coger el agua!! Te advierto que al precio al que esta el agua mineral, tienen un chollo!! Jejeje. Y aqui que pasaria? Se triplicaria la cola, o pasarian porque, total es agua! Jejeje. Pero al crepe nos apuntamos! Crepe, crepe! Te diria que te vas a quedar echo un fideo con tanta bici, pero con esas mini distancias, no se...
