2005, Day Fifteen, Auxerre

Day fifteen 8th July

Walked along the river into town, and spend the whole day there, before having our evening meal in a restaurant, before walking back to the site in the dark.  On the afternoon we decide to find the bar we used last time we were here, we walk for ages looking but its not where we thought it was (the mind plays strange tricks, it was only two years ago we where here), eventually when we do find it, it is closed (sods law).

 

2005, Day Fourteen, Auxerre

Day fourteen 7th July

Very overcast, cool and gray today, so we start to make a move back north and drive while the weather is not good.  Not wanting to ever go close to Paris again, and as we are heading ultimately for Belgium, we think a second visit to Auxerre is in order (we like it there).  So its onto the D704A  to the D703 through Souillac and a short stretch of the D804 to the A20 north.  We got flashed by another motorist as we where on the long slip road to the A20 so pulled over to check, one of the straps on the bike was coming lose and trailing along the ground behind us, tightened it up and we were on our way again.  On the A20 to Châteauroux where we should have turned of and gone via the N151 the rest of the way to Auxerre but we didn't, we took a long roundabout way to get there trying using motorways, I think it took longer than that the N151 would.

It was getting late when we got there, so we just got something from the site takeaway and had a night in.
