Woke up, had a bit of breakfast and planned the days route. We knew we had quite a chunk to cover as we were 14hours from Calais...so we picked a destination Aire near Tours, several hours away.
Unfortunately, this involved negotiating Bordeaux again, which was no less painful this time round.
We also some how ended up on a toll road. sat nav sheila being a bitch again. Luckily, it only cost us 3.90 euros.
Basically, we put the music on and drove. Several hours later and quite a lot of traffic jams we arrived at the "programmed" destination. Only, we weren't where we were supposed to be, out by 21km...Aire book coordinates incorrect. So, rather than set off on a wild goose chase, we saw a sign for a campsite and pulled in.
At the cost of 9.50euros, we got full campsite facilities, on the River Loire, in the Loire Valley. The campsite is called Camping Municipal De Chouze-sur-loire. A beautiful setting with loads of wild life and barely anyone on the site.
The price proved well worth it after the hot shower we had. Whilst the hoselock shower cuts it in most instances, nothing beats a hot shower when its getting a little colder at night.
After some tagliatelle and a bit of wine we snuggled in to watch breaking bad and prepare for our last day of travelling in France.
