The sun was shining at last and Mike came over to look at the front of our caravan and also looked at the tow bar and after some quick measuring it looks like that I have the wrong tow ball head fitted to the two bar and this does not allow the caravan to move left and right without the Base of the Alko head from rubbing.
I was given when I collected the van last year an Alko tow bar ball but the guy said the one I had fitted was fine. Anyway this will be changed when I get back to site.
We left Larnagol around midday and took a long drive through the country lanes but went in to Montauban as we had missed a turning. This is a lovely old city but on the outskirts are the American style road with all the major supermarket and store chains on it.Shame really.
It was begining to get quite hot and the car outside temperature gauge was showing 33 degrees centigrade and as we had the air con on we did not notice how warm it had got outside. By the time we reached our Hotel at Toulouse Blagnac Airport the temp had reached 35 degrees. We had a short stop to check in and have a quick shower before heading down town for a walk. The centre of Toulouse is a great place with plenty of large and small piazza's where the bars and restaurants operate.
We ducked in to a Internet shop to check in on line for our BA flights and then headed for the bar as it was still very hot. The restaurants in this town do not open before 8pm and then they are suddenly packed . At a previous visit to Toulouse some years ago we had come across a fabulous local restaurant where the Chef comes and sits at your table and tells you whats on for the night and then told us to ignore the menu as he would like to arrange our meal himself. It was a great meal, one of the best we have had in years. However it was so hot tonight that we were not that hungry to have a four course meal and so we found a little but active restaurant who made excellent pizzas. We had a great dinner and watched a couple of young ladies who obviously worked in the worlds oldest profession (plumbing and bricklaying) plying for trade (picture to be added next week when I get back to Larnagol)
Using the Sat Nav to find the Hotel again we headed back. We had been asleep for about an hour and there was this large bang from the bathroom which we investigated and it turned out to be the soap holder falling off and bouncing around the bath. Great
