Venice and Larange

We ended up leaving Solvenia as we woke to yet another overcast day. What is the story here. We didn't end up leaving our little campsite till about 12 and still headed to Venice for a flying visit. It was a cool little town with lots of little lanes to explore. I didn't know what to expect but it is definitely worth a visit.

We left Venice about 7:30pm and starting an almost all night drive towards France. We didn't quite make it but crashed about 1 hour from our desitination at 4am.

We arrived in Laragne in the Provence region of France at about 9am to the best day they have had here for weeks. We were tired but still gathered the energy to head up the hill for a fly. The flying here is awesome. The scenary is amazing. It is totally different to the Alps as the hills aren't quite as high but the colours are nice. It's a good change. Cloudbase was around 22oom so wasn't high but still enough to have a look around.


Today the paragliding comp got called due to high winds on launch but it was great for high gliding. It was totally overcast but the thermals were still there. Later on there was wave as well as I went for 10km glide without losing height. Nice.

The weather tomorrow is looking bad again, so we are heading to Cannes for a search for Sarah's Dad. She has never meet him. I don't know if we are going to have any luck but there is a certain mystery in it that is enticing.
