Road trip - day 22 - Saturday
Alarm is set for 7am, today is moving on day!
Cleaned & packed; left the Gite spotless (the same as when we arrived). Said goodbyes to Blanche, sad to go from here really - it's been lovely & relaxing! The boot is once again packed to bursting, why did I pack so much??
Sat nav time is 4hrs 16 mins. Set off on the N7 & went the scenic route as far as Montelimar - saw so many nougat shops & factories! Joined the A7 motorway & stopped at the first services at Valance. Bought an ice cream & a few bits (inc sign for Jack) & logged on to the free macdonalds wifi.
Back on the road - a long drag past St Etienne, Vienne & Lyon heading to Clarmont F. Stopped at a little services & found a lady doing fresh creeps! Ordered 2 with Nutella but one wasn't great so she threw a free one in.
Temp now 21c & cloudy ... but we are high up. Just a thought .... it's a week since we last saw an English car & we only saw 2 the week before. One on the motorway south & another on the windy road up to the Castle de Joux.
Ok, we can now add a uk coach to the English vehicle spotting plus 2 more UK plates at the hotel in Montlucon.
Booked in to the Hotel Bourbon, no admin as such, just gave our names. Wifi established, had a quick check & all is well with the outside world! George almost got stuck on the toilet, the door wouldn't unlock lol. Headed out for something to eat, walked into the medieval town & found loads of restaurants but most didn't cater for the veggie in town. Had a couple of drinks at bars then settled on the galette creperie. Had a brilliant meal; small restaurant that got full quickly (glad we sat near the door!), very very old building. Had a salmon galette & G a spinach & fried egg galette with ice creams to follow. Had a coffee on the at back to the hotel.
