Thursday dawned overcast and positively wintry. I still felt cold from
wednesday's mountain madness, so got dressed in windproof thermal base
layer, shirt, jeans, thermal socks, still damp boots, jacket with
inner and winter buff. And then needed three coffees and fresh from
the oven croissants to feel humanoid.
But it cleared and warmed up, and we found, quite by chance, that the
D971 through Champagne is a lovely little road.
Reluctantly returning to the peage at half-four, we have found a hotel
in Reims with a very nice restaurant next door (yes, it's a roadside
set-up, but this is France, so the food is actually very good and so
is the pays doc house merlot: you know you're in France when the wine
list of a roadside grill runs to four pages).
Hard to think the trip is nearly over. I want to turn around and head
back to Croatia, but I'll have to settle for planning next year...
