Somme Tour

Cobbers Battlefield Tours picked us up at 0930 at the train station.  We had Brian the guide and were the only ones on the tour.  In a Renault minibus so heaps of room.  Brian is a semi nerd or Keith from Exeter in the UK.  Small man syndrome would best describe him but he was quite knowledgable.  The tour was long but broken up in and out of the bus all day.  The weather was perfect though hazy across the farm lands.  Very beautiful scenery of undulating farms and intermitten picturesque little towns.  We had lunch in Tommy's Tavern in Poziers where I broke the giant mayonaisse dispenser causing it to ooze litres of the stuff down the bottle.  Virginie was not impressed.  I seem to piss off one local in every country so far.  Visited the Australian War Memorial then finished off the tour with a visit to the VICTORIA school in Villier Bretonneaux which houses the ANZAC museum.  Very interesting stuff.  Heading off to the old part of Amiens near the Cathederal for dinner and some more beers.  Photos to come; this joint can't download.
