Nancy – 27 July 2011

Up at 7.00 and had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel including home made boiled eggs.  We set out just before 9.00 to explore Nancy and did not return to the hotel until 1.00.  Lovely gardens, churches and other ancient monuments are to be seen here just by following your nose.  The old part of Nancy was particularly interesting.  Weather today is warm but a bit cloudy and the forecast is for a thunderstorm later.
Eventually foot sore, we bought two baguettes and ate them outside.  We went to a supermarket called Monoprix and bought some English tea. After rather an idle afternoon, we rearranged the clothes storage in the Berlingo with large bags bought from Monoprix in order to accommodate more wine purchases. We then walked around the old city looking for a restaurant and eventually ate at “La table du Bacchus”. Jane had a French style tapas while Tony tried a lamb tagine, which wasn’t brilliant, but after the usual wine, water and pression the world was (again!) a better place.
Near the end of the meal Tony felt a little peculiar so we went back to the hotel.
