Seems a shame to have rushed past so many great places!
Knew the sat nav was making a mistake going via Paris. Not only was it busy, but the route took in a 2m high long tunnel section. Maybe newLeia mais

A new day starts with coffee
25 de junho de 2024, Itália ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Not raining at the moment. Taking the opportunity to dry stuff.
Aeropress makes a good cup of coffee!
Still waiting on the windscreen! Fingers crossed.
ViajanteGlad the coffee is great with your new gadget! Now, fingers crossed for the windscreen to get fixed soon, hoping you can finally dry off from that epic deluge. xx
ViajanteI have my aeropress packed for our Greek holiday - it does make good coffee and if you are really eco (stingy) you can rinse the paper disc and reuse it!
ViajanteI have a stainless disc for that! But while camping the paper is much easier to just chuck in the compost! (Eco campsite)
Last day working this week.

Packing up after work for an early start to get the windscreen replaced. RAC cover useless. Autoglass UK useless. Have just booked direct in the end. Expensive, but atLeia mais

Have driven some beautiful roads and through cotes du rhone country to get here. Sadly, most of the caves were closed when I passed. Bit of research needed to find a good one to go to.
Pont D'Avignon

Bit of sight seeing started with the bridge. The rest got blown out by lack of parking for tall cars and a million tourists!
Lunch at Le Physalis

Cheese salad was beautiful, accompanied by a Tarvel rose.
In fact, the rose was so nice I had to buy some (along with some cote du rhone)
The only Tavel the wine society has is 14.50 a bottle.Leia mais
