Bob: Through the fields of Somme
Yesterday was time to leave the excellent beers and abysmal road signs of Belgium behind.
We rode the monkeys in the north of France over a hilly country (slow up, fast down). The route took us through the WW1 battlefields of Somme, the scenery dotted with monuments and vast military graveyards.
In the evening we checked into the Anzac hotel in Amiens and hurried to a park to watch the football finals from a big screen. Unfortunately the expected victory celebrations didn't happen and so we turned in after a couple beers.
