After a grumble about the rave music, we surfaced early and abluted after a fashion in the municipal facilities. Least said the better but the bricks won!
Nevertheless, a couple of warm croissants and some fresh walnut bread later we were ready for a bike ride before departure. We rode separately and in different directions but both agreed that this was a great way to start the day rather than wait for a ride later. As it happened, when we arrived at our next destination - a glorious campsite next to the Lot at St Cirq Lapopie - no sooner had we parked, erected the flagpole, changed the electrical plug (again!) to match the supply, de-bussed all the bikes and golf clubs etc than the heavens opened to loud claps of thunder. No chance of riding in that!
We had driven about 200km via a little place known to M2 and others from a previous holiday, Labastide de Murat, for a most excellent lunch in warm sunshine on a 'terrasse ombragee'. Tonight, we'll dine in after a most welcome hot shower and a recharge of batteries various. We plan to stay here for two nights so that we can savour all that this lovely area has to offer on roads, river and restaurants.
I thought you guys were supposed to be slumming it in the true Majunga style?
