Limi

Yesterday evening we were back from our little road trip. Left BUD last Thursday. First stop in Parma, where we this year found a new hotel. Nicer than our usual… Had a nice steak at our regular restaurant. I know, it can seem a little boring. Staying at the same hotel, ahhh, it was NOT the same hotel this time, having the same food at the same restaurant as every year, but that’s how we like it. Our choice, right? :-)

Next day a small jump to a very small and ooooold village on the border between Italy and France. We had an invitation from the owner of our favourite restaurant in Budapest. The house was empty. Only us there. A typical by God forgotten place. He even had forgot to make proper streets. Everything so narrow so you could not meet anyone on the street without a frontal collision. And this by FOOT. Cars did definitely not fit. Had to leave our little Beemer outside, and drag the luggage uphill. In the heat, sweating like a pig running a marathon…

Anyway, the place was like from a postcard, looked exactly as it did when most of the houses were built, in the 14th and 15th century. Americans can go home and cry... we slept well behind walls more than one meter thick,  even managed to get a steak, not the best in the world, but what can you expect in a place like that. Thick slices can not even be transported through the streets into the restaurants...

Next day we drove the small costal road to Cannes, slow but beautiful. Coming four days we spent on the beach, taking sun well protected under shirt and umbrella. Still managed to get some colour. Not much, but still…  :-)

Had our breakfast on the beach as well (as usual). Baguette and café au lait. Bought from the usual place. Some shopping early evening hours, the dinner at Grand Café. Our tenth year in row with the same ritual.  Celebrating our ninth anniversary. That was one of the new things we did. Last year it was the eighth, and year before the seventh, and so on. So we still have some changes  :-)

On the way back, a quick stop for pasta and ice cream at Lake Garda, then night stop at Wörthersee in Austria. Same hotel? Same restaurant and food as usual?? Of course :-? :-) 

Hot as hell when we arrived home. 36C outside and 37 inside. Took the a/c some ours to fix.

Seems that our deep fridge also got some kind of heat shock in our absence. Only minus 8 inside, and the total stock of M’s ice cream kaputt. That’s a downer… :-(

Yesterday evening T&G, Today Pommis… hahaha




Main street. Side streets looked like inlets on postboxes, only vertical...  Honestly. This was the widest street there was, and there were plenty of them. - Streets...
