Heading south...

This morning i was rudely awoken. By rain, and lots of it... Weather was all good when i decided to hit the sack, still 29 degrees or something, but at 3'o clock this morning, the whole heavens seemed to open upon my tent. Luckily though, it's a good tent. And after politely telling the rain to go away, and most importantly not be there when i woke up, i went back to sleep.

Good news is, the rain had stopped by the time i'd awaken, so i got up and did all the usual stuffs, showered, got dressed, hoovered... Just kidding about the last one, there was nowhere to plug the hoover in. Traditionally, just as i was packing away it started to rain, so once again for the second day in a row i had the pleasure of putting down a very wet tent. Bad times. La Source St Pierre d'argencon was definitely my favourite campsite so far though, the view was good and there was only 10 pitches to the whole place, so it was real quiet and chilled. Plus the lady who owned it was english, of course i ignored this fact and spoke my now-near fluent french the whole time.... Pfft.



For the first 2 hours on the road, it didn't stop raining, which was kinda ironic really. The further south i'm heading the more rain i seem to be getting in return! Although saying that the skies are now mainly clear and and its something like 32 degrees. Wahoo!

Am now only 20 miles away from my resting place for the next 2 weeks, kinda sad that the touring part is coming to an end really. Have seen some amazing places and met some pretty awesome people, there's a large part of me that'll miss waking up to a new view every morning. Guess i had better start planning the next one then....! Rough plans are to go further, and for much longer, and possibly in a different vehicle... Something that rhymes with band dover... Au revoir for now!
