Montigny Dijon

... really got what, but it all tasted good.<br><br>Our trip to Burgundy would not be complete without a stop in Nuit-St. George, where we again employed the "look for the sign of whoever is open" tactic and were not dissapointed. We got to try some excellent Pinot, C******nay, and even some Aligote (a white that they mix with Creme de Cassis for an aperitif) from some of the local producers. <br>Now its up to Champagne!

... operating room, and the pharmacy but my favorite was the courtyard. The most incredible tiled roof ever! It was so colorful. I have never seen anything like that. In a way it makes me think of Germany but its completely French.<br><br>It was an unusually cold day in Beaune so after touring the Hotel we looked for a warm spot to eat lunch. The first place we came to had a 20 minute wait so we looked into option 2. Tracy and I walked around the square where the market had ...

... number of 'across the streets'. She should have said to the left and down the street.<br>Again the next morning I did the same thing, but now line 7 wasnt working so I couldnt get back to the centre so I was going to go down the street and catch line 15 but there was a whole heap of construction work which meant that stop wasn't in service. So I gave up on the buses and used each stop's very dodgy bus route maps to find my way, whereupon I finally arrived at the tourist office.<br>

13th July 09<br><br>Neinburg Weser<br><br>After a delightful week with my cousin Marilys and her husband Gerd at their lovely home in niemburg being shown places we would never have found without them - the painted church at Marklohe where Gerd had been Pastor, the great stone at Staatsforst Krahe, the palace at Celle, the blueberry (hfarm and cafe at Brokeloh where we enjoyed the unlikely combination of a type of potato rosti/pancake with blueberry sauce ...

... just a short walking distance from the town, and very comfortable. We showered, ate, and took a late walk into the town.<br><br>Beaune is very attractive. We'd noticed impressive medieval ramparts on our drive through to the campsite, and now we also admired some austerely ornamental 18th century mansions, which reminded me at least of 'Marlinspike Hall' in Tintin. I also particularly liked a massy Gothic ...

... photo pour aller voir la ville un peu, même si à chaque fois que je pense à mes lunettes perdues, ça me fout en rogne. Je prends le bus, me rend au centre-ville de Dijon, m'attendant à une ville agréable certes, mais pas nécessairement jolie ; après tout, le Lillois que j'ai rencontré à Lyon ne m'a-t-il pas dit que Dijon n'était pas vraiment super, me conseillant plutôt Beaune, un peu plus au sud d'ici ? Eh bien, j'ai bien fait de m'écouter ...

Well. This is my first entry and I'm not really sure where to start. So as the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland says, "Start at the beginning and when you get to the end, Stop." So I'll try that. I'm in Dijon, France for the semester finishing my business degree. Dijon is the ...

... in front pocket, use money belts, keep purse close to you, etc.) and if your a solo girl like myself traveling don't talk to strange men, don't leave your drinks alone at the bar if you go to the girl's room, don't hang around at night alone, etc. you know the drill. Okay, I think that's all I can think of about Brussels. Well if you plan to go to Brussels or are thinking about going, I hope you enjoy yourself and have a wonderful trip. I highly recommend Brussels ...

... and a Coca-Light were in order. I can't wait for classes to start tomorrow. This weekend has moved a bit slow because we haven't had that much to do. I'm trying to conserve my money, since starting next weekend, I'll be doing a lot of traveling. The game plan is to go to Lyon, France's second-largest city. I've done a lot of reading and exercising in my free time, but without TV or internet access, I'm looking forward to having class to keep me occupied during the day.

... 90 Moving(hrs.mim): 7.00 Ave(Km/h): 12.5 Total Ascent(m): 1350 Max Altitude(m) 658 Max Speed(Km/h): 47 The weather forecast was not all that good; it gave me a second chance to work out how to ride in the rain without getting trapped in a hotel, only venturing out to wring excess water from my socks. Packed and made it into town by 11.30 to search for the elusive email / internet. In a town with a population of about 10 000, you would ...
