Today we set off for a weeks holiday in France, about 30km SW of Limoges. We drive down with the bikes, inside the car. Driving means an early start & a long day in the car, we left home at 3.00am! We had a good run down & got to the EuroTunnel in good time managing to board an earlier train than we were booked for.
Once on the road again in France we pushed on, with a couple of stops for fuel & food, to Limoges, where, trying to be organised we stocked up with some supplies, just half an hour from our destination.
Our directions took us faultlessly to our gite, which looked perfect.
The Chateaurenon
We were greeted & shown around our home for the week by Jenny & Bruce & comforted with a bottle of wine, half a dozen eggs from their own chickens & a jar of Jennys home made strawberry jam. What a treat!
Despite the long day driving we decided to put the bikes together & set out for an hours loop to loosen the legs a bit, a great way to finish the day. Of course when we got back we had a late meal & tested the courtesy wine, then slept like logs.
