Well as I mentioned, we had the meal, we think from the same restaurant as five years ago? We ordered our meals, thank goodness we forfitted the starter, the meals we huge, the way I like them, can’t see much plate.

The meals beat Phillip, Helen and Pauline, but those that know me i cannot be beaten, I had a Provincial tartare, but there is a sting in the tail.

Back to the Hotel Monchapet, good place to stay clean and close to the city centre, all you need to tour also do breakfast if you want,we didn’t as we pushed of early in the morning 8.30 well we are on holiday.

Street parking, overnight cost E 2.80 and they are safe.

We left separately and on different routes, took us ( Graham &Pauline ) 5 hours, we did not leave as early as Phillip & Helen, had the usual fuel stop,the last time in France, but managed a quick look around shop for the last minute purchase and a bit to eat at the big French restaurant.  Burger King.

We had got an earlier train, but not as early as Philip& Helen, have not seen them since Dijon?  as they were placed on the slightly earlier train so unfortunately missed out o the shops! And a refuel.

For me the provincial tartare did not want to leave France, thank god for good facilities at the euro tunnel.

Weather again great, morning we left 22. degrees C later reached 30 C .

When we reach England saw masses of cloud, what are they! Still 25 C that’s o k ,eventful drive home, that tartare did not like the U K, so it had to leave.

But this has been a brilliant two weeks tour, sometimes long boring roads but other spectacular and fun to drive.

Hotels have been average to out of this world ( tell about them later )  Phillip and Helens company has been great, we have had fun along the way, o Pauline has been great too.

The cars , Porsche and the Jag have done us proud sorry Porsche first as I am writing this!

Managed to see some big numbers on the speedo and we have covered 5000 kilometres door to door, all with the roof down.

a great way to travel.

Graham and Pauline also Phillip and Helen.
