Later 11th July

Our next passion is a posh old house with independent vineyard. Alas the thunderstorms and hail stones keep us in. The village of Flurie is the centre for many rides but mostly up hill!



12th July

Off into the hills today, put an aire into the satnav and off we went. Up, up, and away into the woods. Only 2K from the aire and it sends us down a deer track. Sticking to the bigger roads (still 1 track but no grass) we descend again to a village called St Etienne la Varenne. The aire here is great. Free electric, water and services for all waste. Shortly after we arrive the bells go mental and announce the start of a wedding. Off to find a bar out of the way (there is only one) we find it is his first day of opening. He is so pleased not only wedding party but tourists too.


13th July

After an overload of grapes we decide to head out into the hills for the Loire Valley.

What a difference, we could be in Devon. The first hedges we had seen since we left.

We are celebrating our first 1000 miles and crack open our champagne with our roast duck dinner. Nice camp site by the river is home for 2 nights as its Bastille Day tomorrow most villages barricaded for the fetes and boule competitions so no point in trying to drive.

14th July

Bike riding along the loire c`est Magnifique. Very little traffic. Perfect!! Sun finally came out! Kev looks like a pregnant lobster. LOL
