Last night I ended up staying up until almost 1 watching the new terminator. I'm going to email Stephen Hawking later and get him to explain what the hell was going on in that film. All I know for sure is that even though Arnie is old now, he's still the best action hero.
I woke up around 10 and left around 11. Had lunch in Digoin and started riding. The ev6 goes all over the place in this section, up and down hills, crossing the canal several times. There was a road that ran alongside the canal so I went on that instead.
It was very hot again. I'm not sure how far I've come, but I'd say it is only 30km. I just can't put as much water into me as what I'm sweating out, so I started to feel a bit faint. I rested under a tree for a while and decided to just give up for today. I left the canal and backtracked a bit on the ev6 to get to the camp ground.
This afternoon I went for a swim in the nearby lake and did some washing. I just had dinner in the snack bus that is next to my tent. It is a restaurant they run out of a converted bus. The tables are all outside and the kitchen is in the bus. It was restaurant quality food, but at bus prices! Not bus fare prices, but, you know, bus food prices.
I had a salad, a white cow steak (this region is famous for their white cows apparently) some goats cheese that you can either eat with sugar to make it like a yoghurt or eat with salt and pepper to make it salty peppered goats cheese. I took a gamble and went with salty peppered sugared yoghurt cheese mix. It was pretty good. Dessert was rice cream, but with a fancy French name and a significantly higher quality than the tins you could get from Franklin's in the 90s. It was very tasty.
Obviously I haven't done much today except not felt well. I've been struggling to stay awake for my reservation at the snack bus. Yep, I had to make a reservation. I'm going to sleep now.

Hello : I'm the boss of the camping du Lac in Palinges and also the cook of the resto-bus. I'm very pleased that you appreciate my cooking.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, i am not a great cook but all is home made and I use only Fresh products from the area.It makes a very big differance...
Thank you for your positive comment.
PS : For the breakfast that what we are used to eat in Burgundy with our black coffee. Just a question of culture.
For me it was quite the same when I tried a British Breakfast in London. Eggs and Bacon seemed to me very strange. But now, I appriciate it so much...
Hi Labille. It was my pleasure to eat at your snack bus. It was a unique experience and a well needed home cooked meal for me. I'm amazed but thrilled that you found this blog post. I can't argue that the ingredients were of the highest quality,but the cooking was also very good. One day I hope I can pass through again.
