Short posting as I had a long day and
I'm a bit tired.
I'd set out early from Grenoble without
any real plan other than to head towards Zeebrugge knowing I had two
and a half days. I typed Zeebrugge into my Satellite Navigator and
selected the 'no autoroutes' option. It gave the distance as about
950 km/ 590 miles, so I decided to try and cover a lot of distance
today.
I rode on lots of back roads passing
through towns and villages, sometimes deviating from the advised
route to look for shops or petrol stations.
I haven't drawn a map but I passed
through: Bourg-en-Bresse, Besançon,
and Vesoul before deciding it was time to start thinking about
finding somewhere to stay. I'd picked up a brochure in the Formule
1 I'd staying in in
Grenoble, and that showed they had a hotel in Chaumont, so I headed
there. By the time I got there I was a bit tired, so it was a bit of
a disappointment to find that they were full. A quick look at the
brochure showed that they had two hotels in Troyes, 90 km further on.
Luckily, the first one I tried had a vacancy, and that's where I'm
writing this from.
Today's
distance was about 400 miles/600 km, so I've done a substantial part
of my journey. The day passed very well with plenty to see, and I
sort of 'got into the groove' and just kept going. No photos today,
but I plan on visiting this museum tomorrow, if it's still there. I had
downloaded details from their website before I left, but when I
checked tonight, the website has gone! If it's not there, there's
plenty of other interesting things to see in Reims.
I
didn't think you'd want Kraftwerk to do the 'Song of the Day' two
days running, so here's someone else doing one of theres.
