LE GOLD STAR SNACK BAR

12/5/2015

Today we had - what for us is now a long drive (over 400 km) - north to Paris. Yes we avoided all the toll roads - otherwise all you see is freeway.  As lunch time approaches, of course all the boulangeries are closed - for lunch - we will never learn.  Okay we'll stop at the next parking area and make something ourselves - then we saw the sign: 300 metres, restaurant rapide, snack bar, ici frites - just what I feel like - frites!

We had a wonderful lunch - hamburger with frites and omelette with onions, frites and lardon.  In the moment, couldn't remember what lardon was but the guy standing at the counter indicated it was good. As so it is - bacon pieces - duh! 

Anyway later another lady (Catherine) and friend arrived.  Catherine has a friend in Brisbane and keeps in touch by Facebook! She gave us her contact details in case we are ever this way again - and tonight I see it was on the back of her shopping list - so I hope she remembered her: Eau Vittel, beurre, huile d'olive, huile colza, moutarde and oeufs!

We don't speak French or Spanish or Portugese.  Well we can point and murder enough French to eat. This means that in all our travels we actually have very little interaction with others.  But we spent some very cheerful moments this afternoon having a chat and a look at the truck and the birds - EMU!

Sorry that we didn't catch the names of Madame and Monsieur at the Le Gold Star Snack Bar - thank you for lunch.  So if you are ever passing north of Bonny-sur-Loire  . . .
