Summer holiday 2003
Le Cap D´Agde − France 2003






Friday, 18th July
Day 15


After breakfast we finish loading the car with the remainder of our luggage. We then learn from some others that they want to have passed Lyon before 15:00 hr., due to the fact that traffic jams occur quit often in this region around that time.

Based on this information we decide to sign out at the reception, and leave around 11:00 hr. heading for NÌmes ­ Orange ­ Lyon. Fortunately there is not that much traffic, so things go smoothly. We have the intention not to stop for the night, but to drive back to the Netherlands in one day.

Having arrived at Lyon we decide to take the A46 which circles around town. There is another route that cuts through the city itself, but this will probably be congested with traffic by now.

Within the shortest possible time we have lost our baring and have no idea where we are. After a couple of wrong exits we decide to go back and turn the car around. Again having taken another wrong turn, we find ourselves right in front of the Kyriad hotel where we spend the night two weeks ago. Can you believe this? I whist we could have found that hotel this easy two weeks ago. Take a couple of wrong turns and there it is!

On the other hand however, we did remember how to reach the freeway again. Within no time at all we were back on route again to Dijon ­ Nancy ­ Metz, and finally heading for Luxembourg.

By the time we reach Luxembourg evening sets in, and the rain has stopped. We continue are travels following the signs directing to Namur ­ Brussel ­ Antwerpen ­ Rotterdam and finally Den Haag.

By the time we reach home it is already 23:00 hr.. We first unload the car and just drop everything in the middle of the living room. This is something that we will sort out tomorrow morning.

First some shut eye!

Goodnight.

By-by!

See you next summer.











and welcome!
