We had our usual breakfast on the balcony although it was rather warm and expected to get warmer during the day with temporaries of 36C expected. However we thought that this morning we would travel along both sides of the River Lot and the valley from Carjac to Cahors and back and just to enjoy the scenery. This journey took about 2.5 hours as we did not rush and only took a couple of photos as we have been visiting and taking photos around this place for many years.
We arrived back in town at about 1400 and it was rather warm but we visited a little café service a limited selection of food but enjoyed a croque monsieur with salad before heading back to the Hotel to begin our preliminary packing in advance of our return journey to the UK starting tomorrow morning. We had originally planned another few days in France and returning the St Malo where we would meet an old friend but with Hotels being full, particularly those with air con, and we did not want any more hot nights and days we had decided to leave France early. We never go to France in August as its always crowded but extenuating circumstances means that we did but there is not point in paying out good money when the result is not what you want. So we have booked a Hilton Hotel in Tours and changed our return ferry from St Malo to the one that leave Caen as its an afternoon one we could catch without difficulty.
We had a light dinner in the room of of a salad which was nice and then tried to sleep in the hot room with the fan chugging away like crazy but not comfortable for sleeping.
We finished off most of the packing and went to bed.
