Day 36 Thursday 24th June
“Julia is the new PM” -so a text from Maddie announces – she sounded excited being the first female PM of Australia. All this as we head-off for another beautiful day exploring the Loire valley. Drove to Saumur to Skype maddie. Got all the “goss” on what was happening at home, as well as email etc. Shopping day too – need to replenish supplies.
In the afternoon we followed the Loire to a small village of Turquaint. Turquaint has many troglodyte homes built into rocks with extemsions built outside the cliff face. Turguaint is about 20km away from Chinon, where we were heading three days ago!,
We have started to settle into a pattern where we find an Aire soon after 4.00pm have a read and a drink, cook dinner, claen-up and then explore the village for a few hours in the cool of the evening. Turquaint is partially made up of houses that emerge from the limestone cliff. Quaint little alley-ways and an old 13th century church.
Thirteen vans took advantage of this great Aire. France, you have done it again!
