Tomorrow we travel back home to hamsters and housework. Today we visit cemeteries. As explained earlier this was always part of the itinerary. Pen will post soon to explain what, where, why though.
After the cemeteries we decided to go out for a meal to a local TWO star Michelin place. Well, rather the chef, Mark Meurlin has two stars and the place we were going was the cheapest and simplest of the three restaurants on his site. However, when we turned up we were subsequently turned away with a “We’re fully booked”. This might have been true (Friday night and the place is popular) but the room was empty and we were under dressed. However, the recommendation came from an American couple we chatted to at length over breakfast. They’d been there last night and had been impressed. They’d worried about a dress code but other diners were in jeans too so they were ok.
Anyway, tired and hungry we tried a local town and eventually settled on a grill place that did steaks and pizza. Fearing a repeat of the previous such place we were nervous but it turned out ok. Except for a brief power cut.
One oddity of the evening was that the sat nav went a little nuts at one point. It couldn’t seem to locate our position or orientation and changed the location of our destination. In the end we had to turn it off. It seemed to cure itself after rebooting after dinner though. Hopefully it’ll work for long enough to return us home. We did bring the TomTom as a backup though.
Just another Mike and Pen Sites site
