Rain in Rouen


Rouen (Day 2)

Well for most of the day it resembled a dreech West of Scotland day with drizzle turning to more persistent rain, but did not dampen spirits. Spent morning in the splendid Gothic cathedral lighting candles for missing loved ones and the afternoon at the Natural History Museum, which Kiera loved. Main highlights were of a culinary nature.
Petit Dejeuner- A small creperie (photograph) where we dined in the cellar on savoury and sweet crepes washed down by a flagon of local cider,,,,,,Kiera opted for Orange Juice.
Dejeuner - Beef Bourgignon, 'Rose' Canard au Cidre and Poulet nuggets et frittes, washed down with a jug of muscadet.
As we retired to bed, the local youths clearly visited bygone days when the Formula 1 French leg went through the streets of Rouen. They were all on foot but for a good 4 hours we appeared to be the chicane where they made the most noise with whoops, shouts and artificial horns.......the local cider certainly must do the trick.
Anyway the weather looking up for our transfer to Mont St-Michel tomorrow and hopefully a pretty spectacular photo tomorrow.
