Good Day Today.

We went to Amiens where we visited the fantastic cathedral. It really is impressive.
The roads in France are not easy. Their cross roads are a nightmare to navigate. The drivers seem to do what they want when they want.
Later we went to Abeville. We found a Chinese buffet there. It's the best we have ever been to. They even had half crabs. Prawns as. If as your hands absolutely amazing. Iust admiti went round four times ending up with amazing desserts.
Back home to watch Corrie on catch up, then I got slaughtered at Scrabble.

Those Wok Buffet Restaurants are amazing value. They were just starting to spring up all over the place when I left Spain.

The driving in France is a little crazy but by far the most insane driving I've ever seen is in Cairo. My God it was a sight to behold!

There was a wonderful buffet Chinese eatery in Poitiers, (West side) which I do miss. Their salted/peppered moules were lovely. I think I still have a loyalty card.... drool.... I once saw a French driving instructor (I was behind him and going to the supermkt.) idling on his phone whilst his pupil got on with driving! But by far the worst drivers I've ever come across are the Portuguese...…. nightmares come true.

Glad you had a good time Caran

I don't think bad driving is limited to France, the 'please yourself' approach to road rules seems to apply in most of Europe!

Today we went to Meseirs museum as recommended by chris.
It covered the history of sea fishing. It looked superb. Unfortunately the guide did not speak English. He was so slow with his french narrative he went on forever.
There was very little English in the displays and the guide totally ignored us.
We hadn't a clue what was going on so we left less than halfway round.
It was such a shame as the right upseemed so interesting.
So sorry Chris it didn't work out.
