Oliver G here, you're listening to the Earful Tower honeymoon season, and this week we're going to be talking about our mammoth crossing of the Alps.

We're going to be talking about the most beautiful town in the whole of France, which is Anisey, and we're going to be talking about how we're very nearly back in Paris.

In fact, this is the last episode you're going to hear from the road when it comes to this honeymoon season. But we've got plenty of stories to tell, so let's get on with, let's go for a ride, let's go for a ride.

And you're listening to the Eiffel Tower, honeymoon season, episode 13.

I'm sitting a small hotel with Lena.

Yes, you are.

And we're in bone, bone.

Bone.

Can't pronounce it, but love it.

Yeah.

In case you're wondering at home how to spell it, give it a B-E-A-U-N-E, Born.

To be wild.

Yeah, that's the best way to remember it. We just had dinner with some people, which we'll talk about

in a sec, who were getting into the idea, singing Born to Be Alive at the gym table.

But anyway, what we thought we'd talk about first, I mean, we're going to talk about the French Alps, right?

That's the main idea for today.

Yeah, and I was thinking when people consider, like, difficult, exotic, dare I say famous crossings of the Alps, they probably don't think about little red scooters and two honeymooners, do they?

Nah, I'd say they're probably thinking about Hannibal.

Yeah, well, they probably are thinking about Hannibal, the famous war general.

Who was kicking around 2.18 BC?

That's right, and he's the one who, obviously, crossed the Alps with his elephants.

All 37 on them.
