Premiere Classe Dijon Nord

... 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 ...

... Dinner was very good and everyone was satisfied despite ordering in French (the restaurant didn't have any English menus...oops). We made it back to the hotel for most of the Florida/Georgia game. The woman was again not very helpful in helping me get connected to the wireless but eventually I got it figured out. Angela's mom and I broke into one of the bottles of wine she had bought that day and we all sat around my laptop watching the game until after midnight.<br ...

... however those ticket bays looked angrier and more modern, and as I knew it would, wouldn't let me OUT of the metro so I had to wait until someone entered and while the doors were still open get out.<br> I had about five hours to spend in Paris but I wasn't feeling too well so I went and put my head down in the nearby park, yet it was too cold and windy so I spent the rest of the time in the train station. The bad thing about the French trains is that they won't announce ...

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 ...

... 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>

... private farms, that have very few parcels. The one we visited was an equestrian center, with a hot shower, a free outdoor kitechen, and very cheap kir. It also cost about half the price of a big camping. As for archetectural features, Burgandy has huge barn-house-garage-workshop buildings, easily 50meters long and often beautiful brick and timber construction. We don't have any pictures of these though due to the rain. Also in Burgandy, we found a town with ...

My sis came for a visit the same day I came from Lausanne. At the moment she was parking a car I came to Foyer from Lausanne. It was nice to see her after two months. On Sunday we visited Citadelle, and on Monday we went to Dijon The capital of Bourgone and the world capital of mustard. Dijon is a cool town,OK not so cool like you would thinking from my title,but it' worth a visit. Chouette (small sort of owl) is the symbol of Dijon so you could see it everywhere ...

Hi all Found a great campsite in Kehl over the Rhine from Strasbourg. Spent 6 nights here on account of the Tour and to recover from previous arduous days.Had the bike serviced by some very competent Germans and made a small investment in state of the art cycling pants. In my case these solved all the chaffing and discomfort problems. Being Strasbourg for the Prologue and ...

... find it hard to travel with someone completely different who act somewhat strange at my opinion according to certain things... anyway at the station I met some people and started chatting with them, later the vintner came to pick me while Stephanie found another place to go to work... once at the Domaine I saw some of the people met in Paris earlier + some acadians people. We talked, had a meal and tried to heal a it of my cough - cold before we manage to get some ...
