Euro mini tour

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

JB don't forget the comedy mini wind turbine between thumb and forefinger and of course the pushing up a leaning wind turbine :lol:

You look like you are having a hoot out there :) we are off on hols soon to Cornwall so wind turbines and solar fields a plenty down there which always entertains my 4 year old who is starting to show a interest in such things :)

E bikes at hotel in Hosbach, coming in from Luxembourg we had a wide open vista about 10k from Mainz. I swear no exaggeration, 100WT's in that vista, all working, phenomenal!

We are back home, Europe is doing well for RE as seen from roadside, By far the most seen EV was the white Tesla Model 3, so much so that we passed a car trailer full of them yesterday on their way to new owners. The only time we passed an electric car in the bongo! :lol:

Not too much PV seen in this part of Northern France (close to Dieppe), quite a few large windturbines though. Not sure why but I expected a lot more PV?

Although the cidre has a green badge! :D

What's your meandering route in the bongo? Are you visiting any glaciers?

If you stop in Annecy or Chamonix do visit the RFID biere n' cidre bar "beer o clock"

(The others I cannot speak for, 9 total)

Saying that my favourite easily found bar / can inna supermarche is "Pelforth" brown, ..the wife refused to let me call our French bulldog that, ..don't understand her "reasoning" but it involved a lot of swearing.
