Packed the panniers and snapped them onto the bike. The sun was shining and breakfast ( hard boiled egg, rolls, cold meats, coffee and great German jams) was wating down stairs in the basement. Incidently, there were a number of strangely locked doors down there and I kept thinking about that nice Austrian father who loved his children.
I thought I'd check on the eBay auction and 
discovered I was locked out of the system. eBay had picked up that I ( or some imposter) had accessed my account from Germany and placing an ad for the UK. I took me 2 hours to sort ( via the net to Oz) to sort it. I then had to redo the ad. So it wasn't the early start I'd planned.

Stopped for coffee, spoke to some French bikers who told me that the road to Sedan was a beaut. So I headed off.
The road was great ( ie., not many cars, good sweeping bends and no sign of police) and wen

I continued on the Sedan and went thru the usual panic of finding a decent place to sleep. This place had no pensions....... really weird. So I stayed at a crappy motel on the edge of town. Showered and rode back in for a good meal at les Halles restaurant. Had a great local beer as well.
Covered about 380 miles, a good day.
