We stayed but one night in Toulouse, had scheduled our Airbus Industries visit for the next day in the morning and now that that had been concluded, we headed off towards Burgos, Spain. Quite a run for this day as we had been at the Airbus Industries site for several hours, now we exited Toulouse and headed south towards Burgos in (at times) driving rain.
Such is travel, we found a small grocery store and decided to eat that night in our room of sandwiches, snacks and fruit rather than go through the unfamiliar city to an unfamiliar place to eat unfamiliar food. We wanted only to sleep here, rest, watch a bit of TV and get going first thing in the morning. These days, in Europe, most (if not all) hotels, (no matter the cost) have a breakfast first thing in the morning that you can buy for between 4 and 7 Euros per person. It is a bargain in most places, featuring, unlimited coffee, tea, hot chocolate, pastries, various local meats and cheeses, and juices. Makes the stay far more interesting and fills a very substantial need at times. Outside of the hotels it is difficult to find any place that has ANY breakfast-like settings. Do take the hotel breakfasts, they are a real bargain.
Then we were off to Burgos.
