Day 1 : A *LOT* of driving
=======================
My mate Kurt and myself started off driving in a town called Heist-op-den-Berg at 9am, arrived on the “Boulevard Périphérique” of Paris around 12:30pm, took the necessary breaks and arrived in a lovely little town called Bergerac.

On the way to Bergerac we encountered quite a few muppets on the road and one very funny van (picture attached). It’s actually only funny if you understand Dutch 😛
The translation in English could be “Child’s Friend” — couldn’t get any more paedophile than that, I guess.

Had dinner in a small restaurant next to the hotel. I had a tuna steak with grilled tomatoes and a pesto sauce with crème brûlée as dessert. Quite yummy.

Quite exhausted at the time we arrived but unable to sleep quickly, because of some bloody heatwave hitting this part of France. Yesterday the mercury was rising up until 40°C. Not good !
