Had a great trip back to Montereau-sur-Yonne via various trains in UK and France which concluded in an amusing incident at Momtereau. As the station is a couple of kilometres from Soraya and our cases were very heavy, all the usual stuff plus a few spare parts, we decided to get a taxi. Came out of the station to the taxi rank and surprise surprise there were no taxis. This is quite normal in a small town France where you have to pre book a taxi. We hadn't. At the taxi rank was a small list of telephone numbers. Margaret phoned the top number which was in a much larger type face. Then we both burst into laughter........
Margaret and the taxi box.
The number Margaret had phoned rang a telephone in a locked box we were standing next to!!! Let's just try to sort out the logic here, well perhaps not. We couldn't. So the phone rang and the light on top of the box flashed until Margaret stopped the call. Surprisingly we did not speak to anyone or get a taxi. Fortunately about 15 minutes later a bus appeared and all was good.
