Lunch in La Rochelle

Oh my gawd, what a night, it's peed it down most of the night, that un the wind un the noisy neighbours being loud till the early hours, e reckons them bin on the pop.
Thems worked out the bus, it's the D1, D standing for Dimanche (Sunday) so a bit later on them goin back to La Rochelle un they're gunna treat themselves tu lunch.
It's brollies un pack a macs on un off tu the bus, it's still drizzling but them goin for it.
Well, what a difference 24hrs meks, the place is practically deserted, it could be the weather, but it could be the fact there's no shops open. The French keep Sunday like we used to in UK.
They walked round the other side of the harbour, only to find even more boats, all shapes un sizes.
The restaurants are open but there's not many sitting outside unless them well under cover. Now cums the big task of finding summut to eat. They wants a Plat du Jour, but er dow like fish un neither of um like mussels so that narrows down the picking a bit. They finally find somewhere they can agree on. Out cums the phone sos they con translate the menu. He starts with Goats cheese tart, well tart anyway they wunt much cheese in it, her tried summut new Salmon Gravlax, it was okay but not quite as good as smoked salmon. Next, he has Fish n Chips, un her as another Burger. Pudding, well you ave to don't you , he has French Toast un her as Panna cotta, very nice it was too.
Thems got about un hour for the bus, so a quick walk round the ramparts to look at the third of the towers protecting the town.
The weather ay no better, but the forecast fu tumorra looks better, let's hope so, me tyres are startin to look like wrinkled prunes.Read more
