I think they shut France, or is this a Sunday thing.

Left Chartres this mroning and headed northwards, not without incident as I managed to lose the other two near Dreux, however, a bit of reversing (pushing by hand)  got me up the down raqmp and onto the roundabout where I missed the turning, couple of phone calls and we met up again a few miles further up the road.    have avoided the Peage, and stuck to the country roads which were really quiet, nice to see about two miles of straight road ahead, no tractors, and little traffic.

Arrived at Amiens and our botel is one of the B & B Group, a bit basic, clean, but in the middle of an industrial estate where everything is closed.  Had to go searching and eventually found a restaurant attached to a supermarket where we got wine beer and food, enough to keep us from perishing. TV is all in French, which is not unusal for France !!

Tomorrow, a much shorter  day as we are going through the area of the Valley of the Somme and plan to stop at the war graves at Poizeres.
