We are heading into Germany after Deauville, but we are
not sure which way we are going to go in… via Belgium, via Luxembourg, via
Italy, via where???! So we’ve decided to head a bit closer and bail into a
campsite from where we can plot our next moves. After all the miles we’ve
covered we aren’t that keen to do any huge amounts of driving (see tomorrow where
the plan goes very wrong!) so we’ve decided to get past the notoriously
difficult Rouen and spend the night in Gourney-en-Bray. This, remarkably,
actualy goes completely according to plan and we arrive at our chosen
destination with only one wrong turn. The downside is that due to EPIC crap
driving on the part of every single road user we work out that we have averaged
7mph for most of the journey. Yes, you did read that correctly. What is wrong
with people? What specifically was wrong with you mr double-artic-over-loaded-with-unsecured-logs-underpowered-swaying-swerving-IDIOT??
Anyway, breathe… we did manage to make it around Rouen without incident despite
the bridge we needed being closed due to the fact that a new middle section of
the bridge was actually being tugged/craned into place as we went past. Well,
went around. Slowly.
We arrive at Gourney and the aire turns out to be
charming and well equipped (as does the town) with everything you need, and is
also free. Happy days. It’s market day tomorrow morning, which we decide to
celebrate for no good reason by getting blad on local hooch. Sometimes you just
gotta.
