I enjoyed a leisurely morning, talking to the hotel proprietor while washing
the car and waiting for Bruce and Christelle, a Scottish-French couple who
live in Brussels. They finally arrived and were amazed at the simple but
endearing technics of the Traction. We went for a ride and I showed them round
the site all over again. They enjoyed Citroëns, too, but also the Belgian
fries, wafers, burgers... At the parts mart, I got me a book about Michelin's
Bibendum and back at the hotel, we had a look at the pictures of their recent
wedding. Then they went back to Brussels.
The rest of our group arrived soon and with the weather being quite dull, we
decided on having dinner in the hotel. The drive back on Monday was unspectacular
but ok, as everything went well with our cars on the smooth motorways and routes
nationales. If only the weather during the meeting had been as good as before and
after...! But let's hope for the best at the next ICCCR. See you there!
