2 November 2022
I had a wake up call for 7:30, and Lesley came and got me and we went down to breakfast (which is included).
Breakfast restaurant
Mike had already eaten.
I had poached eggs on spinach
Eggs on spinach
(I asked them to hold the ham and the Hollandaise sauce) and the eggs were good but the spinach tasted a little strange. Mike tasted it and said it was cooked in white wine.
After breakfast we were to have a walking tour like I did with J in 2018. It was June then and was warm and I was on a BIG scooter with big wheels and padding so I hardly felt the cobblestones.
But this time in November, it was cooler, my scooter had no padding or springs, and the streets were so rough that I did not last the whole two hours. I did get a lot of photos and Lesley took some of me on the walk.

Looking up at winches and possibly a camera over the street
