Metz - Espinchal

That wasn't fair either! I also had to go to the Alimentaire in Metz first. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, baguette... And then I was only allowed to drive 90 km/h on the highway at the beginning! So it's no wonder that after two hours of driving the average speed was only 89 km/h. When Kathrin was allowed to drive, the maximum speed was 130 throughout (of course, we drive at a maximum of 120 km/h!) Kathrin: Ha, look, 100 on average. You too! Oh yes: We also passed a parking lot called "Aire de Gertrud(e)". Well, if that's not a good omen!

But then I was allowed to drive the last 80 kilometers. Through narrow villages with the long vehicle. Curves and roads so tight that two vehicles could hardly pass each other. Deep valleys, high mountains, another stop at Alimentaire and refueling. Speed, pah, who needs that?

Try to find affordable accommodation for seven people near Orlean for the night of May 27/28! Yes, you see, you can't. That's why we ended up in this village. Que Idyll. Cowbells ringing in the distance, cicadas, dogs rarely barking. After 634km Bruuuuuuuum, nothing. Que recovery!

In the evening we had couscous salad for the first time. Mais pas de Persil. J'ai oublier le commander. Crap. It tasted good after all and we thought about Montreal for a moment. This was our manna at the 2018 World Cup.

A very nice birthday all round.
