• The drive from Cologne to the Champagne region is beautiful. You dart through a couple of towns in Brussels which look like a fairy tale in the making. Parts of the highway are not speed limited so it’s ‘choose your own adventure.’ The roads are dead flat and straight so even in my little Citroen, 160 km per hour seems slow when some of the bigger German cars speed straight past you at, probably, 180 – 190 km per hour. God bless German engineering.
• We stayed at a gorgeous little guest house in Épernay which was a 10 minute walk to all of my favourites – Pol Roger, Moët et Chandon, Dom Pérignon and many, many others.
• We had an amazing dinner (with a bottle of Pol) at the Theatre Restaurant which was recommended by of the guest house owners. She was a lovely lady who looked like she sat down to some serious cognac and a good cigar or two every night. Her teeth (of which she had many and resembled a cartoon character) were the colour of the Brisbane River – bless.
