Our intent was to walk the Via Campaniensis from Reims to Vezelay. Having already missed a stage due to lack of accommodations, we spent some time in the tourist office hoping they could help us find places for the final week to Vezelay. But no luck. So here we taxi again, to Auxerre, which is on the Canal du Nivernais. This taking a taxi thing is bothersome, as we are used to putting our heads down and just walking but having no places to stay is problematic. The plan is to walk from Auxerre to Vezelay as this route will connect us back to the Campaniensis. But first, a day and half in Auxerre.
Out the door.
One hour taxi. 8 hours on the bus (with changes). 3 hours on the train (with changes)…taxi was actually cheaper than train. Plus we had the bonus of having a driver who was happy to talk about the current politics in France. We love spending time with locals (even if we had to pay him to spend time with us 😄)
I crashed two civil weddings today!
Auxerre clock tower.
Camino shell! Follow this symbol to Santiago de Compestelle.
Scott found us a Moroccan restaurant to eat at today. Ironically, we found out later our accommodation was located right above this place.
Eagle-eyed Peter noticed this DeuxCheveux, so we had to go get Ken.
Crashed another wedding. Turns out the 2CV is the wedding car.
Ken looks wistfully at the car completely oblivious to the wedding behind him.
Off to another cathedral.
A candle for Momma Mary F.
A smug French cat. He’s missing his beret!
A smug Canadian, who has just said something mean about me.
Yuck! Duck? Does it taste like chicken?
The views from our windows.
Sleep time.
