Blog 1-Vineyards here we come

17 May 2013
Awoken on our first morning by plucking guitars over the tannoy-Brittany Ferries call to breakfast!! Sunny (for a change) as we headed down the motorway towards Angers and our first stop. Now on Day 2, and somehow a dozen bottles of fizz appear to have taken up residence in the back of the camper. How did that happen then? Cunning these French. They get you to taste them and before you know it you have bought some....
Writing this from a campsite on an island in the middle of The Loire, somewhere the other side of Tours. Tomorrow we head off into the wilds to meet Doug's old school friend and no doubt search out birds (sigh) for 3 days then onwards to Alsace. Am not expecting any wifi for the next 3 days or so. Did manage to avoid visiting the Mushroom Museum but stopped off to wander around a couple of magnificent chateaux.
Until next time.....adieu
