A new day starts with coffee

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.
GezginGlad 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
GezginI 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!
GezginI have a stainless disc for that! But while camping the paper is much easier to just chuck in the compost! (Eco campsite)

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.

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

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)
