Metz - Espinchal

That wasn't fair either! I had to go to the Alimentaire in Metz first. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, baguette... And then I was only allowed to drive 90 on the highway at the beginning! So it's no wonder that after two hours of driving, the average speed was only 89 km/h. When Kathrin was allowed to drive, the maximum speed was 130 km/h. (Of course we drive with 120 km/h max.!) Kathrin: Ha, look, 100 km/h average. Yourself! Oh yes: We also passed a parking lot "Aire de Gertrud(e)". Well, if that is not a good omen!

But then I was allowed to drive the last 80 kilometers. Through narrow villages with the long vehicle. Curves, roads, so that hardly two vehicles can pass each other. Deep valleys, high mountains, again Alimentaire and refuel. Speed, pah, who needs such a thing.

Try to find an affordable accommodation for seven people near Orlean for the night from 27th to 28th of May! Yes, you see, it does not work. That's why we ended up in this village. Que Idyll. Cowbells ringing from afar, cicadas, rarely dogs barking. After 634km Bruuuuuum, nothing. Que rest!

In the evening we had couscous salad for the first time. Mais pas de Persil. J'ai oublier le commander. Crap. Did taste then but and we thought briefly of Montreal. In 2018 at the World Cup, that was our manna.

All around a very nice birthday.
