Day 59 Saturday 17th July:
The half-way point of our trip! Left Berrias for Ales. They terrain had change dramatically from this time yesterday – we were now in the dry, light coloured rock of the south of France. Olive orchards, apricots, vineyards etc. From Ales we moved on to Uzes for lunch – it was very hot, windy and dusty. Had lunch and a look then set course for Pont du Gard – wow hasn’t this changed in thirty years with both the crowds and the access so tightly controlled.
After a very hot day we looked for a good Aire and found a brilliant one at Comp on the banks of the Rhone – shade and a lovely setting – and protected from the hot mistral blowing.
