Our "stay-put" day at Lac de Montriond. After breakfast, we walked to Morzine for the market. The first part of our walk retraced the end of the previous day back to the village of
Montriond. From there, we found the way across to Morzine, a total of about 5 km. The weather was beautiful and warm. The market was wonderful, a combination of vendors of cheese, meats, vegetables and fruits, clothing, and other assorted merchandise. We bought some things for ourselves, some gifts, and some bread and cheese for picnic the next day. Then we found our way to the main part of town. I had to check out the supermarket, then we found a little cafe where we had crepes with emmental and local jam which they referred to as raw. It was delicious! The walk back was very enjoyable in the warm sun. When we reached Montriond village, we decided to stop at the bar for a small beer. We drank it on the sunny terrace which we had to ourselves. They had nifty plastic chairs with backs that leaned in a semi-reclining position, so I stretched out in the sun and woke up about 45 minutes later!
When we returned, there was time for a sunny strolll around the lake. We stopped on the terrace of the hotel at the far end for an iced tea. After dinner, we strolled around the lake in the opposite direction. There were more slugs out in the evening,
