Day 7: Conbloux - Bern

After some great and relaxing days at Conbloux, once again there we were changing our plans again. Gian, another good old friend made through ELSA, had joined us in Conbloux the day before. Being owing him a visit to his home town for some years now, again we could not resist the invitation to add a new destination (and country) to our route: Bern.

Having for the first time company while on the road, we headed to Bern, starting another great piece of driving, first through the French Alps, passing by Chamonix and then entering Switzerland through Le Châtelard, over Col de la Forclaz to Martigny, arriving “chez Gian” close to 10pm.

Unlike expected, the two days of rest at Conbloux seemed not to have been very good for my companion. Till Martigny the 2cv performance was quite poor, with the engine chocking constantly, reducing drastically the speed average. For the first time since we left Porto I feared for his health. But apparently he was just sentimental to leave France again, this time with no perspectives of returning in the upcoming months. Once in the highway, he regained energy, even surprising Gian with average speeds over 100kms and a couple of overcomes.
