... another street and back to the river..where I sat and contemplateda very pleasant scene and wondered where he could be. Spent the time ringing Jack in Australia, tried texting John to see where he was. After an hour I decided I had better find him and located him up the street. He hadn't followed his own directions asuming the path was a dead end and unable to find me went and had a beer!! Luckily I wasn't standing on a ...

Day 3... Route66, here we come! All slept well, despite the church bell going off every half-hour all night. Maybe those aperitifs before we left the restaurant helped? :-) Weather looks great again. Checklist for travelling abroad: battery charger, shorts, dressing gown & slippers!

A disaster averted... We're tucking into our pizza and Travers says to Chris, "Did you turn the cooker off?"... We have our own kitchen on the top floor of the hotel, so Chris offered us all a cuppa, over an hour ago!!! Fortunately only the saucepan had boiled dry and created a lot of steam, but no damage done.

Another fantastic day for touring the French countryside. Beautiful weather; great roads. We have struck it lucky with rooms in an authentic French hotel in Premery... A little run down, but the owner is enthusiastic; local bars and a pizzaria just down the road :-)

So I have to catch the train today out of Avallon at 5:04am to get back to Paris in time to transfer to another station to catch a train to take to Frankfurt, Germany. I am up at 4:15am getting packed, dressed, etc...down at the check out counter at 4:45am hoping someone is there. It is pitch BLACK...not a soul in sight. No lights are on, not even a night light. So I find a lamp and turn it on. I sit for 10 minutes thinking the driver or lady who ...

... something to be desired..most of them are RUDE! Oh well..we survive by heading to grocery stores, packing up Jerry and heading off. We got as far just outside of Valence and stayed at a fairly nice municipal park for dirt cheap! The lady at the campsite was really nice, too bad the people of the town weren't. We showered, put on sweats and jeans and headed to the town to walk around. We went into a chocolate shop and one of the sales ...

... too much and trying to take in as much of the countryside as possible. It is absolutely beautiful here. So much history. After 2 days here we are off to Avignon today and on to Nice tomorrow. The pace is very leisurely. I haven't managed to work out how to insert photos yet but will get around to it.

... I grabbed a quiche lorraine, a croque monsieur and two chocolate eclairs from a nearby patisserie. Everything was delicious, especially the chocolate eclairs! We then headed out of Paris on the motorcoach for a pleasant four hour drive to Beaune which is in the heart of the Burgundy region. We checked into a quaint little hotel, Hotel des Remparts. We had a short time to get settled and refreshed and then we went as ...
