The sun was shining when we awoke and so a fast breakfast as we knew that on Monday rain was forecast and so an arrival today would enable to get the big awning uo, its so large that Noel has nicknamed it the O2.
We left Perigueux and took the Motorways to Brive and then South towards to Toulouse but we arrived at our junction and headed off to Carlucet where we arrived at just after 12 am and so it was nice to met up with Stuart and Sheila again before heading to out pitch at the far end of the site and boy this site is now really busy compared to previous years and let’s hope it does not get to crowded as we don’t like that either.
It took us almost 45 minutes fiddling with the caravan to get it level as the site we were allocated sloped in both directions which is bit a challenge for caravans but eventually we did it.
We also set up the big awning and unpacked all the stuff in the car which had travelled many miles since leaving UK in readiness for a longer stint here. By late afternoon we were done and visited the excellent shower block to get ready for dinner as we had booked a table in the new Le Etoilles Restaurant. We arrived in the Bar at around 7.40 after having met somebody on site that we had met last year and then enjoyed and excellent meal with the new French Chef and to cap it off Sheila came to offer us the meal and wine FOC in view of the fact that they had stayed
With us last year and had a great time.
We has also hoped to watch the Canadian Formula 1 GP in the bar but Stuart has a brand new TV and set up which is not yet set up and so Noel used the Wi-Fi signal on his IPod Touch to keep in touch but there appeared to be a long delay due heavy rain and so we forgot about it in the end
A last drink in the bar and we got back to the caravan at around 11.45 and we were really looking forward to bed and tomorrow to put the finishing touches to our set up.
