evening #2...Sunday 14th April...Thionville - France...

I was riding around in circles for ages trying to find this place...my head was starting to spin!!..it's on a paved zone controlled by electronic bollards and I wasn't sure how I was going to get to it without breaking local laws!!..I gave up and rode through the gap...

it's Sunday evening and it's pretty deserted...

not really sure what I'd actually booked but the reviews were good...

and when I came in from the other end of this street all I could see was the noisy crowd outside this small bar on the corner...

right next door to the hotel...didn't take me too long to get in here...

this is down the alleyway to the right hand side of the hotel...

yes...right down the bottom of there...and behind a wall on the left...very safe...

and there's the Kebab shop...how handy!!..

I'm on the first floor at the front...

still hasn't got any busier...

a little early still...

shop staff enjoying the early calm

little bar still seems to be the busiest place around...

food really was good in here...and it did get pretty busy later on...
