Not the best of nights!!!

Noel was pretty tired after the nights events and so we had a slow morning and late breakfast where there was basically nothing to eat but fortunately there was lady sitting alone who spoke fluent French and English who was able to help us out and the kitchen produced some small white rolls that had been toasted and were fine.

A short while later her husband turned up and we were talking about travel and the fact we had lived in Asia etc and they lived in Switzerland and I mentioned that I visited Switzerland quite a it as I worked for Kuehne & Nagel at which point his face changed a little. I said do you know KN and it was then he poured out his story how bad KN had been for his business and unable to set up tracking systems and nobody seemed to care, I said there is perhaps nothing I can do but he said they had changed to DHL and they now see m to be as bad??? so not a happy teddy.


Early afternoon we went shopping down town for our travels tomorrow and the decided to have lunch in a little cafĂ© which was really excellent , Noel had the burger and fries and Jennifer a smoked salmon and prawn salad and both were very large dishes and so not chance to eat anything much later. 


Off then to the supermarket where we purchased some brie and a baguette and tomatoes and then went back to the Hotel for a mid afternoon rest. At around 1900 it started with heavy rain but we stayed in the room and enjoyed the bread and cheese and then Noel discover the TV was a smart Tv with Netflix and previous guests had signed in but not deleted there  sign on details and so we were able to watch a film for a couple of hours before retiring again to bed where we slept well.

Thank god Noel did not have a repeat of last night……
