We have been so many times but this lovely town still fascinates us and when we arrived after a 30 minute stop at McDonalds to use their Loos and Wifi we parked in an almost empty car park in the middle of town.
We walked around the old part of town and it was deserted, we knew the shops would be shut but the locals were missing as well. Noel does not mind looking at shops when they are closed although Jennifer is not so sure. We came across the Cathedral which alays seems to be closed when visiting in the past but this time it was open and boy is it good. It’s a huge building with great little areas off the main church and the Cloisters are really amazing. After looking around the place for a while we left to have lunch in a restaurant we have used before and maybe it was the earlier McDonalds visit that we both ended up ordering the House Burger which was excellent.
We went back to the car to pick ip the camera and drop the extra sweaters that clearly we would not need anymore as the temperature was going up bit by bit.
We walked down to the ‘Gare’ and then on to the very old St bridge which is really very attractive which below has a lock where a couple of women who had hired a boat could not understand the workings of a lock, after about twenty minutes we could not take it anymore. They were trying to go up river and in the end they had water pouring in one end and puring out the other. Great!.
We walked around the outer edge of town along to the river bank and then ended up back in the old town and then back to the Cathedral for some photos.
A quiet night in caravan and we watched a John Frankenmeyer film called ‘Ronin’ which was very good
