Sunday 22nd June- It’s hot and muggy down here

There are a lot of unhappy and sad looking faces around the site today. Most of the inhabitants are Dutch and yesterday it seems that the Dutch National Football squad at Euro 2008 grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Russian team who beat the Dutch is coached by a Dutchman and so I don’t think he will be setting foot in Holland for a while.

It’s been a bit grey and very humid today with the temperature going up to about 33 degrees centigrade. The heat is not so bad if it’s not too humid but yesterday was quite uncomfortable. Lets hope tomorrow is better.

We spent most the day reading and watching the canoes go by on the river and only interrupted by lunch, dinner and the odd cup of tea.

The site is still quite empty, just as we like it although three Brit caravans turned up late yesterday but only spent the night. On one night last week there was a small French car with an elderly couple in it who parked on a site with no tent and we assume they slept in the car. Most strange we assumed they parked here to use the facilities.

The couple who run this site, John and Jane are a very nice couple who seem to go out of their way to make peoples stay enjoyable. The take-away food is really excellent and although we have missed out for a few nights as it can get expensive we will try again later this week.

Looks like I have a slow puncture in the Land Cruiser and that will be fun trying to explain that in French, but we must get it done before we move on to the Lot valley in a couple of weeks.
