Another “too short” location..😬

And..no dressing 🙄

Almost every car or truck, and many walls and signs, seem to have dings and dents. Something to do with narrow winding streets and tight corners?

Seems appropriate outside a Market Hall, doesn't it?

How about a “wall of salad”? 🤔

As soon as the doors had closed and could no longer be opened again we were asked "where are you going?". When we answered Macon universal dismay and searching the SNCF site on phones ensued. We were so thankful for all the help in returning us to Lyon to go back to square one and try again for Macon. Thankfully we got it right the second time. Moral of the story, always ask "is this train going to (insert name of destination)" as soon as you enter a train.

Thank goodness there often seem to be trail, or train, angels there when you really need them. It really does help keep our faith in the basic kindness of others alive.

Dodie put a ban on saving paper maps, brochures, and tickets, etc years ago after we sent repeated heavy packages home at great expense. Once we and they were reunited at home they were roughly sorted, placed in boxes and have never again seen the light of day. It's too bad because they are so interesting at the time.

We received your email, but today's train adventure left no time to reply. Soon, we promise. The luggage room at the Kyriad should be fine for Jacinto's "normal" bicycle but the young man at the desk seemed dubious about the "velo couchant", the trike. Hopefully it will work out because the hotel is in the main square, perfectly positioned for a look at the main sites.

Provence is one of our favourite places. The weather was terrific-warm and sunny, and the scenery and stone villages perched on hillsides can't be beat.

Thank you.

We all have todo that once.some years ago we got on a train hoping to go to Vienna but oh no we were hurtling further into Eastern Europe. It was only when the journey had gone on what seemed too long that we were going in the wrong direction

That ended up being an exciting day! I'm sure you slept well.

Isn't it a warm feeling inside to know humanity is still kind?

Did you save one for a sad souvenir?

Ah, more momentary panic. I went to my messages - I always say we are arriving by bicycle. My reply from the Kyraid said we can park the bikes in the luggage room or their inner courtyard. That is satisfactory to me. Thank you for stopping by. I sent you an email. Did it arrive?
