What is left of the Roman Aquaduct.

The Bollente, which comes from the bowels of the earth, and too hot to bathe in. The images don’t show the steam or sulphur smell from both outlets.

Only about 70 miles from Ormea , one of my favourite stops in Italy

When we left Annecy we took the lower route to the 13 kilometre long Tunnel de Frejus. My Bro in law recommended this route as it is more scenic than Mont Blanc route, and the scenery is stunning. Cost for our seven metre camper to go through tunnel, £62/€74 one way. Seems expensive, but using non tunnel route would cost more in fuel and time. Later on Monday afternoon we reached my sister and bro in law house above Aqui Terme. But the single track road going down to them was interesting, no passing places, switchback bends, with ditches both sides of road!



I forgot to mention, as you traverse through the tunnel, you pass a sign telling you, you have entered Italy, as you exit the tunnel you are met with a THUMP, as you are now travelling on road surfaces similar to WW1 Somme Battle Field. As many forum members have commented in the past, roads surfaces are hellish.
