After our drive up into the Juras we headed to Nyon in time to catch the last hour of sunshine. This evening the fading light was superb on Lac Léman and across to the French Alps.

We are staying a couple of nights at Divonne-les-Bains to get ourselves acclimatised for #dwcc14 in Montreux this weekend. Today we drove up into the Swiss part of the Jura mountains that overlook Lac Léman and Mont Blanc and other mountains.
