Thick fog, though the weather apps are optimistic about the sun bobbing out at noon.
We had a plan. Wander into town and have lunch, a bit of a chill day. So we had a slow morning and made bacon butties for breakfast and relaxed. About noon, we headed into town, following a path from the campsite to a footbridge over the Loire and into Sully. It was still thick with fog and no sign of lifting at any time soon. We walked through the chateau’s parkland again to give Pup a big walk and then dropped into town, looking for a cafe and a coffee – we weren’t quite ready for lunch yet. But it was Sunday and nothing was really open – we found one cafe but it seemed to be hosting a private party, so we didn’t stop there – so we checked out the restaurants. The one we fancied was Moroccan but they closed at 2pm. We found a couple of others, busy with people eating and realised that by the time we were hungry, everybody would have finished and gone home. So we wandered around the town, then back to the Van. It was still foggy, but it had lifted slightly, but still no sign of the promised sunshine.
It was cold and danp so we ended up sat in the Van. We considered our options – we had about 7 days left of our trip, so we could just head straight home or we could bounce up towards the Normandy coast and chill up there as the weather looked better. So we took the latter and spent the afternoon planning a route and a couple of nights worth of camping and checked in at home.
I started to feel quite cold so sat in bed to warm up and managed to crash out for the night. Not sure if I was running a bit low or harbouring a cold or something – maybe a good sleep would do me good.
Anyway we had a route, it would be a big jump to a campsite north west of Paris before we hit the coast. A long day of driving. Hey ho!
