Despite the weather not being as good as normal, this weekend has been awesome. The weather was still great on Friday, so after work me and Fabien went to the lake and went kayaking. It was so much fun! A great way to spend time on the lake; a great way to spend the evening and it was good to see more of the other side of the lake rather than the Aix-les-Bains side where we normally go. I was so so close to not falling in the lake for once - we often take inflatable mattresses and I don't think I have ever managed not to fall off at least once... - but then when it came to getting out of the kayak, obviously I fell in. Brilliant. Fabien thought it was hilarious and even later in the evening he kept laughing about it.
Afterwards, we got back in the car and headed up into the mountains as he wanted to show me what is most possibly one of the most beautiful views I've seen. It was magnificent. The view over the lake was insane (see picture above and pictures below). I honestly could've happily sat there for a few hours just looking at the view.
The weather forecast for the weekend was really rubbish - all rain and storms. But when we got up on Saturday morning we found that the weather was still pretty good, so we had a bit of breakfast and then headed straight to the lake for a quick swim. For the first time I jumped in first time without any hesitating. So proud of myself haha! Not really too sure why I hesitate normally. Possibly because I don't swim often and so I'm not as strong a swimmer as I was when I was younger. Anyway, so we did a bit of swimming and then headed to a spa afterwards; pourquoi pas. Spent about an hour or so there and it was so nice to just relax and spend a bit of time in the sauna and in the jacuzzi. Also it was good to be inside as it soon started tipping it down outside. Afterwards, I was so relaxed that I'm sure I could've fallen asleep standing up.
The rain and storms continued for the rest of the day so I didn't do too much in the afternoon, but the morning had basically tired me out anyway. I'm currently making my way through all of Breaking Bad, so that was a good way to spend the afternoon.
Again today the weather's not been as bad as expected but it's still not great. So earlier I went to the cinema to see Jeune et Jolie (see trailer below) which I was planning on seeing at some point. It was really good and I'd recommend going to see it! Also despite it all being in French without any subtitles, I didn't find it difficult to follow which I'm hoping means my time spent in France so far has been well worth it already. If you're in France or if you get the chance, go watch it!
So yeah, I'm going to finish this post off here as I'm heading out soon to make the most of the rest of the day.
Hope everyone's had a good weekend!
