Tigger’s all loaded up, ready for departure early tomorrow morning. The first leg will take me to Vesoul, France where I booked a hotel. The next day I will arrive in Aix-Les-Bains, where I’ll meet up with @hubaxe.

Day 1, 661km. 413 miles
Left the house at 6.30, made good progress.
2 hours later I was well into Belgium.
Stopped off in Luxembourg for cheap fuel and fags, then continued on motorways until I got to Nancy. That was 500 kilometres on motorways done, took me 6 hours. The last 161 took me 3 hours, but were an absolute delight.
Tiny country lanes through gorgeous rural countryside.
Now arrived at digs, waiting for check-in…

I’m not a big Moretti fan, but it’s better than the pretend Stella and 1664 shite we get in England. Well earned though!
Enjoy those lanes

If I can at all help it there won’t be anymore motorways until the return journey!

So obviously after such a strenuous day I needed a healthy dinner…
Started off with a lovely Ceasar’s with freshly smoked chicken…
Then some more chicken with roast veg…
Finished off with a nice raspberry ice cream…
All accompanied by a lovely half bottle of Chardonnay…

Day two. 298 kilometres, 186 miles
Fortunately the day didn’t start like yesterday ended… Massive rainstorm (sorry can’t upload video).
After a nice breakfast I set off around 9.00.
Lovely mountain roads. I had to make a 30 kilometre detour as one of my intended roads was blocked, but that just got me onto more nice roads.
Eventually I got to Lake Geneva around noon, where it started to drizzle.
From there I made my way to @hubaxe 's, where I was welcomed with a great lunch. A lovely afternoon was had, the day topped off with a fabulous dinner.
