Today was full of them, all of them good.
It began with breakfast, when we pulled into a completely unremarkable bakery for breakfast. What was just a dull building on the side of a highway ended up housing the best croissants outside of Paris, and a terrific escargot as well. Not what I would have guessed, but what a bonus!
From there, we headed off to verdant gorge, somewhere Ky had been eyeing off for years at this point. Her old housemate, Emilia, had a postcard on her fridge of the gorge, and she always spoke highly of the place. Before I put it into words, here are the photos.
We hired the paddle boat, and spent a joyful 2 hours scouting up and down the river, taking a dip in the icy water, and overall just enjoying one another’s company. It was far better than we had imagined, and one of the highlights of our trip thus far.
