Saturday 28th July Epinal

Woke to a hot morning. Healthy with eggs on toast for breakfast.

Steel steeds into epinal old town centre for the market. Usual stuff with some lovely vegetable stalls and the indoor market provided me with half a kilo of fresh sardines. We settled on a roti chicken with onion gravy and roast potatoes for lunch.

A look around the old cathedral having strolled down the rather darkly named rue des morts and then it was up to the old chateau. A steep climb but we were rewarded with some fabulous views of the regions first city.

Via the boulangerie and my first full pint for some time at a riverside bar, we headed back and after devouring the chicken and roasties soaked in onion gravy, the crew washed the bedding. A guarantee that it would rain later. We watch cavendish miss out and worry that it's a sign of things to come for team GB.

By 6 it was hammering down!O

We turned to a bottle of fizz to brighten the outside gloom, watched some more Olympics and settled for chicken baguettes at 10.30 to soak up some late night merlot. It had been a bit of a heady mix and after last nights late night, the pot beckoned.
