Just a quick note to say we have safely reached Burgundy country. Campsite 5km from nearest town and set between fields of yellow and rivers....beautiful. Kiera has already made a new Dutch boyfriend!
Dined tonight in the camp restaurant which was brill, I had my first beef bourgignon and Karla had lamb in garlic and thyme, I finished off with creme brulee and we had a bottle of local white. I could see myself having a hat-trick of bourgignon, but Karla has bought steak for tomorrow, she declined the horse steak. Think if I had the hat-trick I get to keep rest of cow.
Camp really quiet and a relaxing day tomorrow, it picks up on saturday and most of the facilities also open, I am assuming the French must be heading this way to watch the Buddies semi-final clash with Rangers, I will certainly be vocal in the bar watching this one. Come on the buddies!

I remember the ice caves in Chamonix
ReplyDeletebut cannot recall the Mountain. Anyway there would not have been so much snow at our time of year, July. Its great to have those memories. A few days ago Robert was compalining of the prices on the French/Swiss border. He can always look forward to a trip to Los Boliches where you can still get, for €1.00, a pint of San Miguel, a coffee or a glass of wine. The sunshine is also free and every bar has sky for the football. I must have seen more goals in one night that I have all season! Hope St. Mirren do the business or Robert will have more beef..Love to all Dad xx
