Starters out of the way – almost. Main course to follow shortly. Lots on the menu. Pretty soon we’re going to be spoiled for choice.
We don’t usually “do” miles or kilometers. Never aim to get anywhere fast. Tonight we’re holed up on a fairly muddy site, Camping Les Violettes, just south of Toulouse – it’s been a bit of a trec today. Rounded off with a navigation “complication” on entering the local périphérique system at rush hour and ending up heading back north instead of south. Cost us an hour and 1.30 Euro péage on the A61 motorway.
This site’s saving grace is it’s nearly brand new shower block. For the first time we’ve washed up and showered in as much HOT water as we need. The French notion of hot is more often than not somewhere between cold and warm. Teetering between an espresso and an iced latte. You take it short and quick and therefore save on water and money.
Chateaudun and Parc do Loisirs Le Val Fleuri welcomed us on day 3; Camping d’ Uzurat near Limoges came to our aid on day 4 when the planned site we reached wasn’t yet open for the season. Apart from a few other blips that we’ve become accustomed to, all is now going according to plan. We should be in Andorra by this time tomorrow.
Mary-Ann’s pain in the butt. (no I haven’t missed out an “a”) is being managed. We make sure we stop regularly and walk for thirty minutes or so. I mentioned to her that this must be what it’s like traveling with a dog. Stopping every so often to go walkies and pee-pee. She turned and looked at me with those big dark brown spaniel eyes of hers and said “That’s fine, so long as I don’t sniff the first passer by”.
Woof, woof . . .
Where did all the water go then. Safe journeys and wishing you a special Easter.
Dunno. We didn’t drink it that’s for sure. But all’s under control now. Another lesson learned. Happy Easter to you two too.
