25th June- Time to start packing up

The sun was shining but it was still only 16 degrees when we awoke.

There had been quite a heavy due the previous evening and so we left it a while before taking down the awning which can take a couple of hours although we are geting much faster now. By early afternoon everything was packed up that could be and the camp site owner arrived to say they had fixed the interenet problem and could I please double check. I did check and it worked for three minutes and then cut off. No comment.

We needed to get some cash and went in to Ebreuil to the bank, both of them were closed although one may open later in the day and as this was a bit risky and so we went in to Gannat and went to the first bank we saw called 'Banque Popular' but apparently they cash travellers cheques and we would have to go to another bank but he was not sure which or who would cash a Travellers cheque. I thought why are they called the Popular Bank?

Credit Agricole was opene and easily cashed the cheques and a short time later we were on our way.

We had decided that on out last night we would eat out as the take away that night was Duck with an orange stuffed somewhere and as Noel is not so fond of Duck after so many years in Asia we decided to try the Pizza place in town which had been closed last time we attempted to go there. The pizzas were really good and quite the best we have had for some while and very very large indeed and together with a bottle of cheapo wine we had a great night.
