Feels like a lot of driving today without covering all that many miles. Lots of twisty mountain and valley roads with a surprising number still with 80 limits.
It's been very windy but the temperature is still about 16°. Guess the wind is the precursor to the storm that expected to sweep across France tomorrow.
First stop of the day was in Figeac for our last launderette experience this holiday.
Then onwards to Rocamador for a bimble around. Was a little disappointed with the place perhaps expectations were too high.

Intention was to spend the night up in the carpark but the van was being seriously blown about.
Moved on to a little village free aire at Saint Ybard for the night and the bar is just across the square.

That's a nice bar we have been there twice the couple are very friendly also they have a little shop next door. The food was good.

Unfortunately the bar did not open last night and is not open this morning.
Thanks to the village for a great aire and services but no way to put a little into their economy.

Started today in torrential rain on the free bit of the A20. Been raining on and off ever since but due to stop soon so will have a wander around sainte-maure-de-touraine. Free parkup near centre with extra long spaces but no services.
Saw a massive cycle race pass us today while we were stopped having lunch. Would have though it's a bit early in the year - the top professional teams are usually off in the sun somewhere training. This all looked professional though with motorcycle outrider's and team cars wizing by.
No photos today. I suppose I could have posted a video of the wipers going.
Sun sun sun not today but forecast to improve over the last few days of our hols.

Funny enough I left sainte-maure-de-touraine yesterday in the sunshine going south via Angouleme to Arcachon via N10.
You can empty your loo in the first toilet by twisting off the cap on the pipe - no fresh water though.
