We left the camp site around 930 am and headed off to the motorway in the direction of Clermont Ferrand and then shortly afterwards we turned east in the direction of Tulle and Brive. The last we did this trip it chucked it down with rain but this time it was not so bad and the views along this road are truly spectacular but unfortunately you cannot stop on French motorways to take photos as for some reason the gendarmes do not appreciate it.
Some of the new bridges on this motorway are spectacular to look at and quite amazing to drive over and it would really be great if you could stop and take some photos.
The roads were fairly light on traffic and as we were getting on real well we decided that we would get to the site and have lunch there. The site is still quite empty and we had a good choice of where tp rak the caravan but in the end we chose and used the caravan mover to place it correctly. At the last site the caravan was leaning a little partly due to us not checking it correctly but also due to us sinking in the to the soft earth and mole holes. This time we needed to get it correct and so we were in a short time level front to back and side to side and were quite pleased with ourselves. We turned on the electrics and gas and as this site has water a water waste per site we could connect the van directly for both services. We then discovered that our new and only used once water connection had slightly perished and sprung a leak. We fixed that leak and then there was another and then another and then we said what to do. As we also had a new extension water pipe we tested that and it looked Ok and so with a bit messing around we used this and finally we were fully set up.
The swimming pool looks very inviting but we will perhaps try that tomorrow.
Tonight we had booked a table at the site restaurant and Sheila cooked us an excellent dinner and with some wine made for a great evening. We talked to a couple on a nearby table about mutual travel experiences whilst the site owner Stuart regaled us with some of his and that they would not be there tomorrow as they were attending a wedding in Cahors.
Gosh its quiet here u can hear every little bird and bee whizzing past as you go off to sleep
