Sunday 10 June, to Beaunne, France A note before you start reading: we didn't write this account until the end of 2001, when we started this website. We regret it that we haven't made more pictures and therefore the stories are short, but you will have to live with it, as we have to...
The first day of a long holiday. At last we can take off for a few weeks at a time, with the new camera of Elisabeth... Or did I leave it at home, you can see her thinking at the end of the day. When we have set up the tent we search the car three times but with no result. Elisabeth almost wants to go back home (800 km) to get it, or at least to buy another one.
After a short rest she starts again unpacking the whole car, looking for something else, and quite accidently she finds the camera under a chair. What a relieve!
Today everything goes well, except for this camera-incident. From Groningen (in the north of Holland) we travel southwards and within 6 hours we enter France. We avoid the toll roads and arrive near the Archeodrome, in the direction of Lyon. We find the motel there a bit too expensive and drive back to Beaunne where we put up our tent.
This summer we want to visit Portugal, but Teije also wants to see Andorra (he tried to get there already three times, with an older car and never made it) and while we are in the right direction, we also want to visit Barcelona, to have at least a look at the pieces of art made by Gaudi. And so this holiday becomes a long trip via Andorra, Barcelona, Gibraltar to Portugal.
Monday 11 June, Archeodrome, to the south of France Last night we looked for some time for a cheap hotel or nice campsite, and we ended up in Beaune in the Bourgogne. We had passed by the Archeodrome and decide this will be our first stop today. Soon we have packed our stuff and arrive at the Archeodrome at 9.
But it opens at 10 and not at 9 as the sign
