Route so far

Montignac in the Dordogne

Another great location on the banks of the Vezere river. Market day today and Liz was able to have her hair done. The stylist was so good we will have to come back on a regular basis! Weather lovely in the high 20's with clear blue skies.

Chauvigny

Medievil backdrop to our pitch at Chauvigny (see pic.), plus langoustine from the local market on the BBQ in the evening! Weather still warm, but overcast today. Have now moved to a rural site near Limoges, run and owned by a young Dutch couple. Plat de jour tomorrow night with all the other campers on site.

Chateau Amboise

Balloons over Amboise

Just as we started the barbeque these baloons took off right next to us on the Amboise campsite. Fantastic sight!

Amboise

Now at Amboise camping on an island in the middle of the Loire. Enroute visited the Chateau de Chenonceau (below) which is breathtakingly beautiful.
Last p.m. had a slight "happening  "  when  Keefie broke the cork screw !!  As you will  guess, he managed to open the bottle !!

We have found that some campsites offer better facilities than others!

First week

Now on the banks of the Loire near Orleans. Spent the first week travelling through rural France, through lovely old villages and small towns. Using our bikes daily and Liz has only fallen off once. But don't worry, no bones broken!

Thanks to Sarah and Brian for this contribution!

In actual fact, we only have 600 tea bags for the journey!
