day 49 Grenoble and walking

In the morning we went to Grenoble where we had to go to two car parks to park. Then we walked around to a park were we saw a statue. Everywhere you look in Grenoble you see mountains. Next we had lunch but they brought our mains out before the starters. When we got back to the hotel we went for a long walk along the river and then back for another swim.

The hill we tried to climb

We started climbing the hill after going to Decathlon and buying boots. The hill was very steep and at the first stop point it explained about the ancient Roman temple to Mercury on top. Soon we got to the train line but after was the steepest part. Next we got to the photo stop. Near the top it started to rain rain very heavily. Quickly we started to rush down but just before we reached the bottom it got sunny. The only good part about today was that I had duck for dinner.

We started the day by getting on a ferry and playing exploding kittens, but then I played Terraria. Soon after we landed in Saint Malo we got to lunch and I had really delicious duck. We then had a three hour drive to Tours and I watched Eureka. The first place we tired to go for dinner was shut so we went to another Asian restaurant nearby. It had a buffet, I had lots of spring rolls and some very hot pho soup. Dad had some frogs legs.
