Holiday breakfasts – good and bad

Simon and I are driving through France right now, we stayed at a hotel in Rouen last night and are on the road again.  I have no doubt (I’m writing this in advance) that the hotel breakfast was typically French – croissants, confiture and café au lait – and here is where I have no doubt you are going to slay me … I am always really let down by French breakfasts!  Yep, there you go mes chères, I’ve admitted it - really let down!!  Yes I like croissants, yep I adore café au lait, yep I like dunking one into the other to horrify my husband BUT where’s the eggs?  And the fried pig products?  And the sauté veggies – be they mushrooms, peppers, onions or tomatoes?  Where’s the savoury goodness? 

Now a holiday in Éire, that’s a whole different matter and bring it on I say … rashers, sausage, blood sausage, potato cakes – yes lead me to a Full Irish!!

So, what about you, where’s the best and worst places you’ve eaten holiday/vacation breakfasts?

    Worst – South Africa. But only because it got served so late!
    Best – Brazil. I love all the fresh fruit to choose from.

    I was at a B&B in Pt. Reyes, California that had a fabulous breakfast, with fresh hot pastries, local fruits and I can’t remember what else, but it was to die for.

    Can’t think if a “worst.” Most of the motels in our price range are pretty mediocre.

    The last brakfast out was at Friendly’s. (They are on my “D” list. too greasy, they think quantity means quality.
    I had a Buffet at the Hotel on Ocean Blvd. It was on my “B” list. Pretty good. Just missed the “A” list. good Buffet.
    nobody on the “A” list right now.
