A gastronomic retrospective I

In response to many requests (well, one mild enquiry) we include some of the food that Cathy and Anne ate on their way around Europe. The paella here, of course, we found in London.

Dinner at the Prince of Wales Pub, Putney.

Breakfast at Bill's, Putney High Street
 

This, of course, is something completely different.
Cathy might appear to be legless but she hadn't drunk a thing!

Hampton Court Palace ice cream

Anne making an impression on Hungarian coffee drinkers

Various Hungarian foods
 
 
 

The obligatory morning coffee ....
 

... and beer. Although this may have been morning tea.

Flat Hungarian biscuits

Asparagus (or are they chips?)

We didn't eat here, but the name was evocative.

Q. Why are Austrians fat?
 

Luckily we left soon after this offering on Katnerstarsse.

A final Viennese coffee

On the Road Again

We called in at Chateau Ruth to get some wine, but they were out.

In deep thought!

Last Days in Provence

To brace ourselves for leaving Provence we went off to lunch in Grignon.

The girls outside the old Roman bathhouse

It's a beautiful old town with lots of alleys.

Lunch! Cold pea and mint soup with a goat cheese and broad bean thingo on the side.

Anne ate this.

The restaurant was called Clair de la plume

A spontaneous burst of G & S that night

Riding off all the kilojoules next morning.

Coffee in Nyons.

Fantastic rock formations on a drive to Remazat
 

Lunch at a little village in the mountains.
 

The view from the restaurant terrace.

Given Pierre's ordering and eating habits, this could well be the last sheep in France 

A new one. A tunnel with windows.

More fantastic rocks.

If you look closely, you'll see the eagles.

A rainbow over Vinsobres. It's time to go.
