Camping La Riviera Doree - Fountainebleau

Another late start this morning which we regretted as the heat of the day built quickly. By mid afternoon Angela was suffering badly from the heat. We changed upon an Aldi supermarket purchasing ice lollies and other supplies. A fellow cyclist, a young woman from Paris bought spinach, olives, lemons, sparkling water and an alternative milk drink. Us. Bread, crisps, eggs, fruit and a large packet of pain chocolates. Proper cycling food. Lots of carbs, fat and sugar to power us up. Yesterday John picked a bunch of table grapes from a vine overhanging the wall of a front garden. An elderly couple walking nearby laughed. It was probably their grapevine! This evening the mosquitoes are driving us mad, biting with a vengence.



The campsite is a little quirky with little hobbit houses and pods you can star gaze from. Another warm day tomorrow. We must leave early without fail.
