We spent our last day in Holland on the water in a sloop. This was one of the great wooden boats that graced the water. It was Sunday, and the weather was great, so many families were out, putting through the waterways and canals. It was beautiful, and a wonderful last day.

Anne and Sepkje, BBQ in Grou. These wonderful friends went over and above the call of friendship and lent us their car for the last week, allowing us to cover so much ground. All the rellies, and friends in neighbouring countries. Thanks guys, you are our heroes!

Driving from France to Holland had us necessarily passing close to Gent. Who could resist stopping for a coffee in such a pretty city?

A cellar tour includes a glass of the good bubbly stuff. Domaine Pommery, Reims.

One of “the things” to do in Reims is visit the cellars of the champagne producers. Hip and groovy Domaine Pommery was the one where we ended up.

A Toast To The French

Richard And Jo Demeester has posted:

Why wouldn't you toast the French? When you have food and wine and champagne this good, then they deserve acknowledgment. Actually, it began in Costa Rica when a poor translation on a menu ended up with “Toast To The French” instead of “French Toast”. We met these two lovely French people, Amelie and Gauthier, while in Costa Rica. They lured us to their apartment in Reims with the promise of a good champagne tasting! They wined us, dined us, and showed us the sights.

Reims Cathedral

A side aisle of the cathedral in Reims. These cathedrals really make you feel so incredibly small.

Metz Cathedral

It was surprisingly light inside the cathedral, with so much glass filtering the light in.

Mussels - So French

Richard And Jo Demeester has posted:

One pot has mussels with white wine and onion. The other, with Roquefort. We were not expecting such generous serves - somewhere in the vicinity of 80 to 90 in each pot!
