Waiting for the ferry over the seine estuary

There's a bridge too, but that's autoroute

Another panorama

Mont st michel

This was the closest you could come without parking and walking the rest

View from my table

The notre dame church in vitre

Desert, the 'gourmande'

Lamb fillet in goat cheese sauce

Artisjok heart with shrimps at the Louis 5 in vitre

No idea what the meat things around it were

The bridge to ile de re

Glad to be leaving, that was way to touristy

After dinner walk on the beach

Moules frites again, at the camping

Most expensive camping ever, 40€ for 1 night, at ile de re

Desert: crepes with prunes, prune ice cream, armagnac and whipped cream

More view

The view from treize clochers

More duck parts, now fried

Rolls filled with prunes, breast and something else

My birthday dinner at treize clochers in monteton

Starter: salad with different duck parts: breast, foie gras, and stomach

Moulles frites at hotel Bellevue

My front tyre needed replacing badly

I was worried about having to wait long for them to order the tyre but they could start on it after 10 minutes at motobox47 in marmande

Dad cremating some meat products

Wine from cans for demineralized water

And a buffet after the concert

Panorama from a garden in bernac

Where there was a living room concert of 'tous mes chats noir'

Disco night

Music, torches at the table, and only one guest, me!

EntrecĂ´te frites at the camping

Everything you need at this camping, food, hoegaarden, and free wifi with decent upload

Another nice panorama

Cake with raspberry and raisins and stuff

Trout cooked in a cabage leave, with bacon

At the auberge de mazayes, they apperently come recommended by the michelin guide, I guess the fly problem, and the mice keeps them from getting their star. And they let in these smelly bikers

View from the road to the top of the puy de dome

There was no view at the top

I'm not going upthere today

Salmon filled with courgette (zuginni) and tomato

And there was cheese as desert too

Salad (don't remember the restaurant's name)

The salad had a surprise, there was a poached egg under the horseradish mayonaise

Selection of cheeses

Perfectly ripened

Lamb chops

Escargots at Le Clos 21

Movie later that evening

Stupid Eddie Murphy one, norbit or something

After about 4 lagers I discovered they had erdinger weissen

Had to have 1 of those of course (maybe 2)

Schnitzel and frites at the camping

"le lac blanc" (the white lake)

Looks more like a flooded quary to me

Choucroute

Sauerkraut with about 6 different kinds of meat!

Mountains!

Duck's breast

Assiete alsaciene at Le Schneeberg

Cold saucauge with ementaler cheese

Time for a beer

Let me drinking it be my offering to the church

A well earned rest for the bike and me

No rain today I think

Did I mention the rain didn't last long?

My tent at camping "an der lohbrucke" in kehrig

The only tent here, and I think I'm the only person here too

Some chicken dish

Deep fried potato and onions

Lassi at Tay Mahal tandoori, mayen
