We had a terrific day. It was a beautiful drive down to la Chambre, where we stopped to have breakfast. 

Then we continued on to the Col du Glandon, where we had a lovely walk and took in the wonderful and diverse alpine scenery. 

We stopped at the Lake Grand Maison to have some lunch before making our way to Alpe d'Huez. 

After the 21 switchbacks in 12km (not counting all the others today) the boys were ready to stop. We found a spot in the aire and then later we went for a walk into the village. Luckily by the time we finished our first drink the rain had stopped. We strolled around some more before heading to our next bar. After a couple more drinks we made our way to a restaurant that had been recommended by two locals and we were not disappointed. Nice food and atmosphere. Later the moon light shone for our walk back to Bluey and #25.
