Up at seven again this morning. Angela's calf muscles had been cramping all night, so she dressed and set off for a walk up to the chateau.
The sun was rising over the Loire lighting the vapor trails that crisscrossed the clear early morning sky. Beautiful.
Today we were heading south towards the Saone region. As yesterday, we arrived at today's destination by lunchtime. The one available campingcar space at the aire overlooking the canal was taken by a car. This always infuriates us. It's an area for campervans and motorhomes, not cars! After half an hour John approached the driver who seemed flumoxed by John words and waving of arms. Angela sat in Margery, understanding the waving of arms. After a short while the man left. Probably muttering 'bloody English'. With Margery settled alongside the canal lateral a la Loire, we took a breath, and ate lunch.
Of course we have cycled along this canal in the past, when we cycled to Switzerland. So for old times sake we mounted our Bromptons, our haunches and knees complaining from yesterday's ride.
Dare we complain it is too hot, probably not, but all the French, Germans, Swiss a Swedes soaked up the sun as they sat outside their vans. We sweated all the way to the Aldi supermarket and back.
