Motorbike adventure May 2015 day 2

nederlands

Friday, May 15th:

The second day the Vosges in France were on the agenda. Unfortunately the weather let us down.
Lots of rain on the go, in the highest areas we drove through the rain and clouds. Very sad we missed the beautiful views: one gray matter…
At the highest point of the Vosges (Le Grand Ballon) we didn’t stop as planned. Grey…grey…grey…

On the way we stopped at concentration camp Natzweiler at Struthof. But due to the bad weather we did not visit the camp. The ‘canteen’ with broken machines was not so successful, so we went on the road again.

At Villé we stopped to get some food. The first reaturant where we sat down, was not exactly waiting for people who wanted to eat. So we just went a bit further to a medieval restaurant, aptly named: Le Médiéval. Surrounded by harnesses and all kinds of medieval weapons, a big piece of ham was turning on a spit. There we had a very nice meal. Almost a pity we had to go on…

In the Vosges we had a nice view over the clouds, instead of beautiful valleys…

Motoravontuur mei 2015 - dag 2 - deel 3

After driving in the rain and fog for some time, we stopped at Ferme auberge Breitzhousen. We got us a drink over there.
After we passed the highest point of the Vosges (Le Grand Ballon) we decided to take a short cut, because we and we could barely see each other on the road and the speed was dramatic reduced. So we said to Tomtom: as quickly as possible to the hotel!
