Day 50 Thursday 8th July:

Pleased to hear from Maddie this morning – she had quite a flight back from Tassie – and that she was feeling much better.

Left for Montignac – the village of the famous Lascaux cave art, but now only copies to view. Had lunch and explored this ancient town that had just been celebrating its history from prehistoric times ’till today. The town was decked out with large colourful flower rosettes , a very effective decoration.

We moved on further into the Dordogne to the quieter village on St Leon-sur-Vezere situated by the river - and needed to be today because it has been so hot – 33 oC at 6 pm with no breeze. Iced drinks were the order of the night. When it cooled a little we took a walk through the village and looked at another 12thC church, chateau and quaint alleyways and streets. Wading in the river was very much the highlight!
