Today was the first day of our eight bed trip to the UK. The outside daytime temperature was very cold on the journey from the south to the north. Apart from when we left the south, the temperature varied between -1 C and -6 C. Through the middle of France, between Beaune and Reims, it was very cloudy and the trees were covered in thick ice. They had obviously been that way for some time. It made me appreciate our regular daytime temperatures of 8 C with bright sunny days at home. We arrived in good time at the Ibis hotel in Laon and were suitably impressed. The room was small but, for a change, the bed was large. Probably 6 feet wide, which is what we are used to. Excellent. Despite the fact that I favoured some junk food Jan steered us towards the restaurant. It was good without being memorable, a grill more than a restaurant. With a room charge of 47 euros per night this place represents good value for money. Recommended.

Have a safe journey there and back, and enjoy yourselves in England.
Wait a minute - I don't mean that! Don't you dare have fun - or else we will be REALLY jealous!!!
We always stay at the B&B hotel (!) chain when we are travelling fast - they also are exceptional value especially with children. They do a family room with a double bed, plus mezzanine with twin beds. Ideal - and always next to a Buffalo Grill - the children's favourite!
