Day 22 continued (Friday, September 18, 2009)
A few hours after leaving Chamonix, I finally arrived in
Annecy around 18:00, and was easily able to find
Hôtel du Château without any problems. After parking the car in their free lot, I headed into the small hotel, which was slightly rustic, but in a very cute alpine way. My room had an amazing view of Annecy and all of its colorful tile rooftops.

After settling in, I immediately headed into town as I was starving. I had not had a proper meal that day, so after snacking on just bread and fruit, I was quite hungry. Since I was in the Alps region of France, eating fondue was a must for me. After conferring with my guidebooks on the many different restaurants in Annecy, I settled on a place called
Le Freti, as it was listed as having reasonably priced fondues.
Before entering the restaurant, however, I decided to walk through Annecy for a bit. I was surprised that the historical old town was much larger than I had expected. It was also far more beautiful that I had imagined it would be, with all of its multi-colored buildings reflecting beautifully upon the Thiou river.
