After 700 odd kms today I've arrived at Le Castel in Fleurey-du-Ouche, west of Dijon, to the most welcoming of welcomes by Christine and Didier, the owners of this family run B&B. To call it a B&B feels inadequate but then this is typical rural France. I have hyperlinked Le Castel and you must click and look at the photo gallery; it is what you see and better.
As you know, not much is open on a Sunday in France (good for them, give commercialism a bloody rest) so Christine offered cheese and wine. Well, as you can imagine after a days riding I was screaming "Carry On" before she even finished the sentence and the pic is the result. And look at the view that accompanies the spread. I am currently the happiest man in France!
Not sure what tomorrow brings yet because I haven't looked at the maps and figured out how far I am from the wedding venue and how much time I need, but right now ... who cares! One sec, need another slurp ...
Oooh, lick my lips and call me Nuits-Saint-Georges!
While typing, the bride-to-be has just called and is over the moon with excitement and it seems my time in Monte Urano is all laid out ... buono (that's your Italian for "sorted", that is).
Right I need to look at these maps, hic ... which way is north? Slurp!
