10th June 2009- Not much happening today

We decided to have a more restful day today and following a latish breakfast we did some reading and sleeping and then a bit more reading. Quite a nice way to spend the day really.

We think that the weather is beginning to improve as it was much warmer in the evening and we could eat our evening dinner outside rather than inside the caravan and it was nice to sit and watch the sun go down over the hills with the river sounds in the background.

Noel cooked some lamb steaks with onions and peppers and together with rice it made a very nice meal to end the pleasant day of not doing much really. Tomorrow we are planning a trip in to Vichy for lunch and also for some shopping. If the weather is nice then it is a really beautiful drive over the hills with the Volcanoes in the background. Oh yes there is a range of mountains not far from us which are dead volcanoes and very close to a little town called Puy de Dome.

The 'games room' at the camp site is the best place to get the free wireless. The only problem is the room is very dark and dank and very unwelcoming and so my visits online tend to be quite short to avoid getting to cold, Its a shame really as the site owners could do something to improve it and yet nobody seems to use it and so they are right to leave it as it is. This site is classified as a 'Three Star'. The classification is generally surrounding the quality of the facilities on site and the site facilities are quite acceptable for what we require but as we like the quieter and smaller sites these tend to be of the same level. The site we stay in at Larnagol has the same star category as Ebreuil which is why perhaps we like these quieter less modern sites.
