Wednesday 16th May
More rain in the night and freezing cold this morning. It
was a bit grim taking down the wet awning. The Dutch couple watched from the
cosy innards of their little camper. I hope they were entertained. I think they
thought I was smiling at them but in actual fact I was snarling.
We got going about 11am and arrived Beaune at lunch time.
Quite a nice site with a good pitch. Hardstanding.

We walked into the town, which is quite charming but very expensive. If you ask for a glass of house wine, they bring you a wine list! The back streets are more interesting than the touristy bits – cobbles, courtyards and shabby little old houses.
We went for a drink and Kim engaged a retired fireman in
conversation. He didn’t speak a word of English so we struggled a bit and it
was hard work. We had his life story, which took about two hours to relate. He
was all set to follow us back to the camp site but we said we couldn’t remember
what number pitch we were on. Anti-social, I know, but I suspect he would have
been there all night swigging wine, gabbing faster French and giving me brain
ache.

We were glad to see the sun this morning, after a day of rain yesterday. We left here about 11am. We’ve seen Beaune, done that. Wouldn’t be bothered coming back except maybe for a stopover. Next!
