30 July Part two.

Today was planned to be Abbeys and cathedrals and perhaps Spain but fell short. Made the foothills only. It was an Abbey and Cathedral day for sure. Started at Redoz. Old town wonderful Abbey. Down the road to Albi. Amazing Cathedral. Truly amazing. I took the tour on the little translator machine and while it was pretty good I think I was expected to be a Priest because I understood little of the language of the Church. However an astonishing work of construction art and faith. So after a large helping of history only one other thing to report. I stopped for fuel, needed assistance of course and a sweet lady came to my aid, but as I was leaving there was a Rugby shop of all things. On a road between Redoz and Albi and not that visible but he seemed to be doing OK having his gear made in Hong Kong. Nice chap played rugby and his son played in Australia briefly. Interesting half an hour. Not as pleasant as the half hour a half hour previously in the square behind the Abbey eating a slice of pie and having a beer, but still pretty good. So having had my fill I was off to Mezanet. Never been there before and will not again I trust. A very ordinary place and an even more ordinary Logis Hotel to stay in. Dinner was just OK, a salad with sliced mutton and duck.....they like duck round here and Roast duck. Not so bad and the Rose' was OK too. So Churches ! First 3 Abbey at Redoz and the second three Cathedral at Albi (I hope).
