    Day 44 - rest day (Besancon)

    June 3, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    I booked my first Swiss accommodation today. I will be in Switzerland on 08/06/2023. Somehow, I am seven days ahead of the schedule I created before I left Australia! My guidebook says that I am 931 km from Canterbury. This means that I have 287 km to go to get to Grand Saint Bernard Pass. Besancon is lovely, a really nice balance of old and new. It lies on Le Doubs river and is surrounded by massive stone walls. So far, during my church visits, I've gatecrashed a Baptism and a wedding; today, I gatecrashed alter boy training.Read more

    Carmel CarlsenThe churches are wonderful because they are quiet, cool, and always beautiful in their own unique ways. It is an opportunity to pause and appreciate.
