Update - excuse spelling - keyboards arse about face here! Not only that each country the keys are in different places again!
London was cool and the train ride to France only took 1 hour - apparently at 300 kmh.
Got to Calais and the prepaid voucher for the rental car wasn't accepted. So on the blower to Napier but to no avail - had to pay for the car again - luckily the Hertz staff spoke anglais. There will be arse kicking when I get home!
Then I drove 300k to a place called Epernay - was OK but the hotel room didn't have tea/cofee in room so Howie a bit grumpy. Anyway had a look about. Next day (Saturday) went another 100k south to Troyes. Nice place - stayed at a hotel about 5k from "Centre Ville" which meant parking wasn't a hassle.
Monday I went to Besancon and stood under a Roman arch built in 175 AD which is pretty amazing. Thats even older than Nathan's car.
Today I came to Zurich - beautiful country side but everything is so expensive.
Next I head for South of France and catch up with the bike race.
Weather is lovely now - sorry to gloat but the shorts are out. The food here is OK - the smell coming out of thge pattisseries is hard to walk past.
I'm enjoying wandering about just taking in the history - buildings and walls etc so old. Lovely old huge Cathedrals - real bells too.
So basically I,m having a ball.
Cheers.
Howie.
