Highways and byeways in froggy land
Motorways are like cities. If you have seen one, you have seen them all. The language on the signs changes but not much else. You miss all the colour of the place you are travelling in. The Nuances, the details. Like the first night we stopped in north spain. A car pulled up close by very late and left his lights on. Bloody drongo I thought. I will give him a push start in the morning as I dont have jumper leads. The car left a few minutes later and ...

Unleashed
... the cascades. These Municipal campsites are dotted all over France and cost about 2€ a night. They have great facilities and hot showers maintained by the town council. I haven't stayed at one yet but I'll certainly be looking out for them in the future.
