Off to France!

Travels begin again tomorrow!   The chief car packer is working on logistics - what goes where in the car - and we have discovered a drawer under the passenger seat that we did not know existed!   We have also worked out how the CD player works after owning the car for a couple of years!  Who knows what else might be revealed...

We are off to France on a round trip taking in 2 nights in a small inn in Burgundy where we have been twice before and know the food is very good.   Then a night in Uzès near Nimes staying with an old friend Barrie Liss.  On from there to Rodez via a vineyard to pick up some wine that we particularly like (Clos de Gamot).  We are staying for two nights in Rodez before heading on to Bordeaux to stay with old friends Patrick and Joelle.  From there we head back north via the Loire and two nights at Angers before taking the tunnel back home.   A clockwise round trip which we will complete in 10 days. 

Peter is sorting out every guide and map on France that we possess (a large bagfull) - let's hope there'll still be room for the wine! 

Temperatures are forecast to be around 30° so we will be returning to summer!   On y va!
