Foiled again - Route Barrees make our life difficult

Tweet

We have a GPS called Doris in our motor-home and she has given us a few headaches from time to time. Sometimes the fault isn’t all hers. I don’t have how many ‘Route Barrée’ signs we’ve come across in our travels but it would go into double figures. Every time we are thwarted from going in the direction we wish to go, Doris doesn’t understand and insists on bringing us back to the same spot, expecting us to try again. In the photo, you can see that our route is barred by a collection of women’s slacks. Further on is a market and hence the road is closed for the moment. When you don’t know the town it can be difficult to negotiate your way around such obstacles. The roads rarely go the way you think they might. Those that do go the way you want are often so narrow you wish you hadn’t found them.
