France pt4: Sleep

Something I forgot to mention was that in France I slept some of the best sleep I’ve had in many, many moons. I put this down to 3 things: 1) the purity of the air; 2) the peacefulness of the surroundings where, at night only there is a silence only broken occasionally by the scurrying of curious creatures around the yard or chickens going for a midnight snack; and 3) the fact the air is much thinner due to us being many metres above sea level, whereas in the Netherlands I am used to being several metres below it.
