We stopped
at a very nice campsite in a small village not far from Tours, as you come off
the Motorway and travel along the bank of the Loire you get a magnificent view
of the Cathedral of Tours with its two massive towers and of as would be expected the Palaces.
The
campsite was a very short distance out of Tours a very nice location and
because it isn’t school holidays, quite empty. We didn’t do a lot just lazed
around a bit, went and sat in the sun on the veranda of the restaurant and had
a beer. Yes, this is holidays for us, I do the normal nowt and Linda doesn’t
have to work!
We had done
a shop on the way into the campsite so had plenty of fresh food, we put up the
chairs and tables and Linda rustled up very nice salad and we ate a lot of very
nice cheeses with crackers and crisp bread (we are on a health trip and cutting
down on carbs).

Catastrophe!
I went to put up the sat dish and it wouldn’t go up, it did move but then
locked out after a few seconds, try as I might it just would not go up, was
this to be the end of TV watching for 6 weeks?
Next
morning was Sunday, what do you do when you get up on a Sunday, cook a healthy
English Breakfast without the sausages and hash browns (they don’t belong on an
English breakfast in any case).

We packed
our external goods and chattels together (tables, chairs, power connections,
etc), as we were running low on fuel, I put the 20ltr reserve canister into the
fuel tank. Went to the sanitary installations, done what one has to do and then
headed off in the direction of Bordeaux.
