Auxerre to Sens - 6 August 2011

Departed from M. Darmon's at 8.30 having charged us 36€ for gas and electricity!  We had barely left Auxerre when the heavens opened.  We were going to stop at St. Florentin but it was still torrential so continued on to Sens.  Not so easy finding an hotel - one full, one shut for the holidays but Hotel Brennus (who also closes on Monday for his holidays) can accommodate us for two nights at 60€ per night.

We had a walk around but the rain dampened our spirits so we went back to the hotel - it's an OK sort of place.  After much planning during a wet afternoon we chanced our arms about 6.30 but five minutes after we set off, down came the rain again.  We walked across the two bridges (the river Yonne divides and rejoins creating an island) and arrived at "L'Assiette", a restaurant we looked at this morning.  Food not brilliant but some was edible at a cost of 53€.  Stocked up on biscuits and went back to the hotel.  Raining still though the forecast for Sunday is promising.

Mobile phone seems to be in a Vodafone-free area at the moment!  No phone, no computer - lost in France!

Hopefully pictures soon.
