Gerhard and Wolfgang preferred taking a variant of the GTA today that is short and easy. I decided that the company was more important to me than the longer more beautiful path. It wasn't an interesting path, the weather however was again phantastic and my knees had a day of rest. We arrived early at "Viviere" which is a paradise of sorts. Stunning place, very high-end, extremely nice and helpful and the food is incredible. Angela is a more than excellent cook. Cauliflower and carrot flan with cheese sauce, melanzane alla parmigiana, crepes of wild spinach and nettles (which she had collected today) and then chestnut pudding with creme. Stuffed with delicious food we had a Genepi and chatted with the landlord Fabrizio and Katja, a German woman who passed by with her dog and decided to stay. Wonderful (lazy) day first in deck chairs in the sun, later in front of the fire place inside. Beautiful 17th century house, lovingly renovated in detail. I have a wonderful room and am in good company.
