However tired you are, one thing is guaranteed during the summer months, and that is you will wake up early, and if you're lucky, some mornings you'll get to witness an absolutely stunning sunrise of vibrant orange, as we did this morning.
With no need to rush, we are driving less, stopping at familiar places.
By lunchtime we were back at Chateau Marquis de Vauban at Blaye.
Ten pounds a night which includes a free bottle of the estate wine. What's not to like? And as a bonus some new sculptures have appeared since our last visit.
We are now in Bordeaux country. The countryside green with grapevines as far as the eye can see.
Arriving at the chateau early we were able to bag a great spot in the shade. We've booked for one night, but already think we'll probably stay another, especially as the temperature tomorrow will be 40c. We also think Marge deserves a rest. The last time we spent two days anywhere was at the end of our visit to Morocco. We've been driving everyday, sometimes for many hours in uncomfortable heat. Time to slow down we think!
