Well, throat better, sun out (mostly) .. We went for a 60km ride, through Cambrai - old Roman provincial capital - has restored buildings built under Charles V, and old city gates dating from 12th century.
Also went through a nondescript village and bought 2 huge strings of garlic - what's so special about it ? Well, it had been smoked for 5 days by a peat fire - the strings, containing many heads of garlic (platted together) have a lovely golden colour. We are looking forward to garlic soup :-) Can't bring any home unfortunately, don't think AQIS would allow it through (not vacuum sealed etc), so you'll have to rely on a description of the taste, 'other effects' l8r
Well, I think 2mrw is a big cycling day, and, if I'm not mistaken, we cross into Belgium..... Time to wash, get ready for dinner
