Lancia Ralley in Alsace
Posted: 10 Sep 2012, 16:17
on 7 Sep -as planned- Team RWB FSZ arrived from E Bank of rIVER Rhein without mishaps; right on our planned time-schedule (wonders !!) just as UK, BE, NL Teams were arriving from N & W .....
yes, as always ... all drivers were driving into another lost-valley.....to a lost Village, as every year - following perfectly clear "how to get to" directional-signs allowing all Teams to arrive in the right village without getting la la la la lost in France.
A lovely place Graufthal is; ancient & mysterious, with its sandstone-cliff Cave-Dwellings that were actually occupied until rather recently & are now a walk-through Museum; a damp place to live 365 days a year.
There is fresh water-tap near the museum, for 24 hours a day, well-filtered, ice-cold water ... running right of the sandstone-cliffs surrounding the village.
The tap provides sweet-tasting mineral water to all for-free & feeds 2 mid-calf depth wading-pools for refreshing "Walks in the Water / Instant Cooling of Body-Limbs".
GRAUFTHAL VALLEY IS A WILD TROPICAL PLANT REFUGE !!
The rest of my Report is in Viva Lancia English
