After
a short bus ride we arrived back at the Auberge de Foret and Danny was excited
to be greeted by some ducks on the grass verge next to the hotel. They weren’t scared of him and they quickly made
friends.
After checking in we caught the
bus back to Hazenbrouck and waited for Clive to arrive back on the train from
Lille. Danny decided this was his
bedtime so he quickly went to sleep in my bag.
For the evening game we settled into the bar Aux Trois Roi (The Three
Kings) and settled down with a group of French, English and Welsh to watch the
France v Albania match. Another
fantastic evening watching the football with a late goal confirming a 2-0
victory for Les Bleus.
By the time the
game finished at 10.50pm it was taxi time back to the hotel. The two French lads we had been watching with
insisted that they would drive us back to the Auberge. They proved to be our
second set of anges gardiens francais It was straight to bed for us but not
for the German lads with their crate of beer, although they did calm down after
the hotel manager paid them a visit.
Strangely in the Euro draw they had got random tickets for Cymru v
England and Russia v Cymru. Like us they
would be heading down to Toulouse.
