8th July- Boy its hot here


The sun was pouring down when we awoke and together with the sound of birds singing their hearts out and so we went outside for alight breakfast of yogurts and Muesli washed down with a super cup of tea and then just sat there as the ducks from the lake paraded around the site calling at each tent or caravan looking for tit bits, very nice.

Our plan was to head in to town and find a supermarket to stock up with goodies such as milk and croissants etc and a Carrefour Market (a small store compared to the usual Carrefour, With the shopping complete we went back in to and set up relaxer chairs where we spent most of today apart from some walking around the site looking at who is there and also taking some photos for the album. I have not started uploading the photos to our Phanfare photo album as you have to pay for Wifi here and so I wait until we reach the next location. The site is quite large and the pitch sizes are very large indeed whilst the site is not so busy just yet compared to where we stayed for the first couple of nights in Northern France. After an exhausting time listening to the birds we headed of to the swimming pool for a while and then back for a light salad dinner washed down with a couple of glasses of Sancerre. We did cheat first and had a small beer and so we restricted ourselves to one glass of wine, or was it two.

Noel connected to the internet but trying to read the notebook screen with bright light is not the easiest but was able to send a couple of short emails and also monitor credit card usage. It was at this time Noel noticed that at the previous site when we had dinner that the lady had a problem with the credit card machine and had to do it twice and so now we have been charged twice. Life is not so simple sometimes.

We are both still a little tired as its so hot and we are considering to stay another couple of nights and move on to Chateau La Comte on Monday and then avoid the extra weekend traffic

Then off to bed with lightning and thunder and the promise of rain but it only dropped a couple of spots overnight.
