Metz: A lazy day

The wheels of the bikes did not turn today. We spent the time exploring this interesting city and EATING. I will let the pictures tell the story.

The Moselle

Looking up the street the buldings a lovely mellow yellow coloured stone

A pair of german Cycle Tourists - they are the only others we have seen recently and today were riding from Metz to Verdun. A long ride when they were setting out after 10am, at least I was able to tell them it was 73km not 83km!

The flower seller

St Etienne's cathedral

Look at the Baptismal Font it is an enormous ancient roman Bath

The stained glass is magnificent and contrasts so well against the yellow stone - it photographs extremely poorly

This tiny organ has been high up here since 1530. It is called the 'Organ in the Swallows Nest' At present it has no pipes - dont know how you would get to it perhaps a matter of rock climbing

Metz has a huge covered market

We were at the market quite early they were just finishing setting up and it was filling with people

The opera

Lovely bridges across the Moselle

I liked this shop so would Bernie and Chewy but Rose wouldnt have been so keen

Waiting patiently outside the Supermarket

Our lunch place

My 'plat' - no even I couldnt finish it all

Ken's 'plat'

My desert - after all that food I had to sleep all afternon!
