17th May 2009 - Champagne!! or, maybe not as it's Sunday :-(

Maybe our smell arrived before we did in the Champagne area, stopping at Mareuil Sur Ay, who knows? By then we had forgotten the tap by switching off the water except when we needed it and were both looking forward to tasting some of the local produce – not open on a Sunday then? Whenever does a traveller have to know which day it is? Well that’ll be Saturday so you can be prepared for total shutdown on Sundays! We are learning fast. The Aire was however delightful and we met a few more people, enjoyed a lovely canal side walk and a great Pizza and local beer. That’s us - champagne tastes, beer budget!
