Falling into the Auvergne

A lovely day today (Sunday), not so far but heading into the mountains and hills of the Auvergne.

Being Sunday, we completely fumbled the arrangements for lunch, to the extent that we ended up, in extremis, having a chocolate bar in the petrol station. Major fail. 

Jim and John appear to have been following themselves from previous trips this year. Today's deja vu was by the River Aron where they'd had lunch with Ron in July.

John contrived to drop his bike when at a standstill in a fit of fumbling incompetence, but no damage done. Big thanks to Vince for reacting so fast to help, and BMW for making a bike out of girders. Video to follow when Vince uploads it!


Tonight's stop is the Auberge de Chabanettes, run by an Anglo-French couple, which was preceded by quite a few miles of bendy mountain roads - hurray!!
