Wow! What a beautiful ride.

Yuck! At least you were spared the detour.

It was!

Should have been more patient for the etching explanation.

And, there's something etched into the marker under the painted N122 .

River looks swollen too!

They are. Mine is a replacement for my old one that leaked last year but, although the same style and colour, it doesn’t have a two-way zipper like my old one did. I really miss that for jersey pocket access.

They were more of a visual than a physical barrier here. There was definitely a drop on the far side.

I rarely drink pop. On our last trip, though, I enjoyed a Coke as a pick-me-up on a few challenging days.

The thing that bothers me is paying for water in restaurants. Except in France, it seems there’s no free option.

Not “gulp”, but “galp” ;)

And, on the soda pop thread, here in Santa Cruz, CA, a tax was proposed to try and thwart consumption for those who have small salaries, but big thirsts for the sugary fixes. Of course “big soda” wants to keep this in their pockets.

Showers Pass jackets are great!

Like the “candy cane” posts for early Christmas decor😀..Maybe this is where the name “candy” originated from for your washing machine.
Nah..

Looks good.

It does seem like in Europe generally there is a de facto ban on pop, just through very high prices. On rare occasions when we order it, we split one can or bottle. If the can is 355 ml it"s sort of ok, but a tiny bottle, especially if split, is frustrating.
