Road trip - day 3 - Easter Monday
Had a late start ;)
We had a bit of a mixed up breakfast of anything & everything we had to hand.
Decided to explore the local town
Parked in Car Park 1 near to the station & set off exploring
We walked down to the Palais Spa baths & then back up the other side of the river
Went on the funicular railway; very surprised that George decided to give it a go!
Had a drink in the restaurant cafe at the top & came back down. We were a bit surprised at how difficult communications seemed to be!!!
Decided to find cafe with great reviews - cafe au bad
Ended up having a capachino in a bread shop & then eventually settled on a restaurant with a veggie menu where the waitress spoke English!!!
Ordered vegetables & rice and a local dish of noodles with cheese & onions (very much like macaroni cheese). Pudding was ice cream for G & an ice cream Sundae based on Black Forest gateau flavours .... yummy!
It was raining by the time we left the restaurant so went back to the car & had an explore of the local area .... probably 70 miles round trip (not planned)
Back at the Gite the daughter & boyfriend arrived to make sure we were ok - their English was excellent! Turned out we had a free railcard that we didn't realise we had!!
Bread & cheese for tea; some internet surfing & then bed
