Roullet

Saturday 10/07/21

The French summer holidays have definitely started as the motorhomes piled into the aire last night; I counted 17 this morning.  The advantage of having arrived at a decent time is that we weren't caught in the scramble to squeeze into every available space for the night.

We slept well, motorhomers are usually quite a quiet lot and we were so tired we would probably have slept through anything.

A typical sleepy village on a Saturday morning

We set off at around 08:00 and were soon driving through the forecast rain which lasted most of the morning.  The first half of the day was village to village driving (we try and avoid the toll roads, the routes are usually more scenic but progress is much slower) but after we crossed the Loire, it was mostly motorway driving.

Just to prove there are some straight roads in France

Crossing the Loire - taken through the side window so not brilliant quality

Sunflowers as far as the eye can see

We arrived at the aire at 15h30 so not a lot of distance (395km) for a day's driving but that's the nature of travelling the way we do.

We're keeping to our schedule quite well so far and should get into Spain tomorrow afternoon. Now it's time for a Bokkie-shower, some supper and then sleep!
