Day 3 - STOP PRESS!

Before I start to write about today’s adventures I realised that I’d completely forgotten to tell you about another ‘oops moment’ from yesterday.   So there we were following trusty satnav’s instructions “....at the roundabout take the first right then turn left”  - turned right we did and entered the chevrons in the centre of the road to turn left “left Del, left!!!! ...down there, there!” and Del does turn left where I said...  have you ever met head-on a queue of French locals all waving their arms and shouting expletives at the “stupide Anglais” (one of them even had a beret on) – hands up totally my fault – sorry! 

Anyway, onto today Birthday Boy woke early and was overwhelmed with all his cards and presents.   We ate breakfast in the sunshine – freshly cooked (still warm) croissants.  Today the weather app said it would be 30C – we really needed some downtime after the travelling so we opted to stay in the camp and watch the people swimming in the river.  Fabuleux.




This evening we went to Restaurant l’Orb – oh wow!  Simply superbe.   A small menu but the food is definitely the best I have tasted dare I say “ever”?   



We wandered back through the village to the campsite and finished the day with a glass of Baileys.   Fantastique!  (have you noticed how my French is improving?)
