Day 13 - Part 2, Villefranche

We left Millau and made our way to Villefranche. The hotel is right next door to a Hyper-U supermarket, our next fuel stop, though I expect the hotel was there first. There was nothing else in the car park when we arrived, so I guess we were the first there, some more guests arrived later though.

Our hotel, Villefranche
Unfortunately the hotel is some way outside the very pretty town, which is  shame, so we were restricted in what we could do as regards food. After the usual freshening up, we went across to the supermarket. Besides the supermarket itself, there was a small bar, a restaurant called Flunch and outside, a takeaway pizza shack. We popped in the bar for a beer, where Grizzly hit upon the idea of buying beer in the supermarket, along with some ice. As he keeps telling me, he's not just a pretty face!  We duly purchased a bag of ice and a six pack of Leffe Blonde. Grizzly then went back to the hotel to get the bottles and ice in the sink.
 
I tried to suss out the Flunch restaurant. It wasn't clear to me whether or not it was open or closed, so we decided on the pizza shack. We ordered up a third pizza of the tour and a beer to wash it down. I have to say, that out of the 3 pizzas we've had, the one in Italy has been the worst one! Dinner over it was back to the room and 3 bottles of chilled Leffe Blonde.
 
Tomorrow is another riding only day and we are heading for a place called Exideuil, on the banks of the river Vienne. Weather again promises to be fine, though there may be a thunderstorm late evening.
 
Looking forward to my little Irish alarm in the morning........NOT!
