Parc de la Colombiere, du Dijon

... is that everything closes for lunch from 12 to 2. They are serious on their lunchtime here, and when its raining and there's not much sightseeing to do in the small towns, well, lets just say we were lucky to have enough wine to get us through it. We also tried a proper french dinner in the town of Beaune, a 4 course meal for 12 Euros. Caity got Rabbit and Tom got Veal, or so we thought. We still aren't sure ...

... 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 ...

I only stayed for one night here because there was nothing in particular that I wanted to see, I just came to see what it was like. I caught the train back to Paris and had to use a different train station because Paris has several, all of which have trains going to certain places. My metro ticket should have expired but the other morning it had worked so I tried it again. After a couple of goes it was accepted, Yes! Machines can be foiled, and then 'stole' my way to Gare De ...

... Cube' we had left Belgium for ran out, leaving us with a fridge only functional when on the move. This time we had a much longer drive to France than previously -some 350 miles. Off we set, stopping on route at Frankenberg/Eder and Thalfang, reaching Clermont-En-Argonne (49.07'15"N 5.02'13.8"E). For 5eu on a spotlessly clean aire we have electricity for 24hrs, as muc water as we want, toilets and showers. The only drawback being no cafe/bar within ...

... to say the least, but the next thing I knew... <br><br>...it was quarter-to-nine, Friday morning! We had blithely planned an early monring kick-off - but so much for bold plans! Still, by 10.15 we had hit a Carrefour supermarket for munchies, filled up with diesel (still seeming delightfully cheap!) and been amused by a regrettably named German coach in the supermarket car park. Soon we were heading south once more. <br>

... I driffted off. So with this in mind we had stopped at a camponal in south Dijon, it was only &euro;35 a room so we got our own. a better nights sleep was had. Prior to this we had enjoyed cheese and meets from the local suppermarket all washed down with a bottle of red and a few beers, did I mention this was all consumed at the side of the freeway, it was a step up form the day before!!!

... to find we had a room in the attic. Nice room, but damn hard to get to with 20kg+ on your back. It was the same in Paris. Killer. · Heavier, part I My bag is definitely getting heavier. Meg says hers is too. Which is funny as we haven't bought anything. Yet · Heavier, part II I'm loosing weight. Meg says I'm not, but try telling my belt, the one that's stretching further around my waist, that I'm not. · Summer? It was 16 degrees Celsius ...

... to older couples to whole families, comes out to listen and to celebrate summer. But, most of the bands are teenager wanna-bes, so the music isn't that great, and by midnight, I was ready to get out of the crowds. We don't have class today, so I'm just relaxing before we leave for Brussels tomorrow morning. This afternoon, we're going shopping with Olivia. Hopefully, I'll find some fun stuff! XOXO Kate

... the furniture, the dog and other guests. Camping was slightly up uphill and offered precious few flat spaces. First contact was with Coraline and Jean-Bernard, a friendly and instantly likable french couple. We arranged to meet in that was termed 'The Refuge' or the log cabin. You know when you are in for some extreme camping then listed on facilities is not a swimming pool, mini golf or table tennis, but 'A Refuge'. Next was Maurice from ...

... September 21 We got awake later and stressed to hurry, we needed to work on rain coat today. Target for a potential grape war has been loaded... especially the alcoholic manager that gets drunk while watching us in the field... We think there must be not so much to do anymore with all we have already done. Damn it's quite a lot. I have to say it was my best day of work and I did a lot ...
