On the way home

We are now on the bus on our way home. We generally stop every two hours with an hour at lunchtime for a picnic with wine, of course. This time we stopped at a picnic site in a motorway service station in the Auvergne amongst the volcanos. There was a good shop selling local produce, so we are taking home some lentilles de Puy and some cheese which we will try this evening.

As on our way to the Loire, there has been entertainment: mostly singing,

At 4.30, we stopped at the Millau bridge where you can now climb up to take photos.


Here is the bridge:

and a panorama with the bridge on the right.



So now we will be at home for a week before we set off on our next bus tour to northern Italy.
