I arrived in Annecy pretty early in the day. My couchsurfers Arianne and Jerome were out for the day on their hike so I took the time to try to bike around the lake and explore their historical old Town.
I arrived just in time for the Saturday market where vendors were hocking their various knick knacks. To be honest it all looked like stuff you wouldn't want anyways (and at exuberant prices) but I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure.
The old town is very similar to Colmar with a river cutting through the middle. I wandered around aimlessly and checked out some of the ice cream and crêperies.
After I took a leisurely bike around the lake but failed to finish because it's quite a big Lake. Finally at night time I met up with my couchsurfers Arianne and Jeromy who were so nice and I cooked some Chinese stir-fry for them. By now I have perfected the recipe so it turned out much better than last time. They invited me to their friends going away party where I met a bunch more people and schmoozed some more. Finally we headed back on our biked after a long day.
Originally I had planned on staying for just one day but Arianne and Jeromy convinced me to stay for an extra day and we have plans to go hiking today with their friend from out of town.
