The weather looked very grim today following the last few days of storms and so we decided to take a trip out to look at the country side and check out a few more camp sites.The journey took us though the Sioule Gorge which is very beautiful with striking hills and the fast flowing water upon which you can hire a canoe and paddle through the gorge. We drove to Menat and enjoyed the rolling farmed countryside and small rivers. We stopped for lunch in St Pourcain sur Sioule by which time it had temporarily stopped raining. A very nice couple of salads later we left the town which is much larger than you think. There is also a Louis Vuitton factory here no doubt making expensive handbags for the rich and famous.
It then started to rain heavily again and the black clouds were rolling in to cover the skies and so we went back to Ebruil which had only a little rain in the day.
We had a quite night reading books, listening to music on our I-pods and had a Beef Bourguignon from the camp site take-away, most enjoyable.
Lets hope there is a quieter night and no more thunder etc.
