We got an early start (8am) as today was promising to be a hot one - 32 degrees at one point. The roads at the start were great as the climbed more hills through to St Die and Rambersvillers. After that it got very flat and agricultural around Nancy, Toul and up to Verdun and very straight roads for miles and miles ......
Tried to get Gertie to avoid Reims but I think she likes the catheral as, just like 2 years ago we went straight into the center at about 4pm !!!!! Bugger
Finally arrived at about 4.30pm - sorted out the tent etc and had a wonderfully hot shower...... And hung up the riding jacket and trousers as they are smelling very lived in .... Got to dash it has now started to rain .... Got to get the washing in......
Now to sort all this paperwork that I have in various pockets....
