WTF is that? Menthol Syrup?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

It's a very old French drink, I first had it in 89 when its was baking hot and I asked for a cooling drink in a cafe bar in the village of Pons.

Its called a few different names but Devil Mint is the idea, I call it Diablomont when i ask for it as that's what the first one was called that, it's amazingly refreshing but sweet as F so I'm limited on it, I looked up the price in the UK, £10, here €3.30.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I like to poor the lemonade first and watch the mint syrup slowly get absorbed.

Diabolo, I'd guess the closest word we have, is diabolic.

So you dont stick Vodka or gin it then?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Nah, don't drink often, I got a bottle of limoncello though that's gone TF.

Heading towards this area tomorrow - now which road shall I take? Done any of these in the Cevennes Pudsey?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

We might have Tony but we were more to the east of the A75 I think.

Another stunning area, probably best to do all the roads.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Even the tame roads are breathtaking, and you have time to look around too.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

We spent the night on aire in Sadroc, Quasimodos home town.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

In fairness they did a lot of ringing last night, all very disjointed like someone learning, but it kicked off again at 7am not even suggesting a time, unless it was 49'O'Clock

He'll be home by lunch at this rate.

I'm getting tired just watching his progress.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Bossy boots has decided she doesn't want to extend the trip, I'd be happy to live down here.

 

[mark61]

I'm over on Thursday eve, I'll give you a wave in Calais.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Looking at le havre to come back Mark, only 10 miles further home once back in blighty, no drive to Calais so might be an option.

How long and far are you going?
