France holiday day 3 - How do you say Blois?
4am it woke us with a loud crack of thunder and the rain hitting the van's roof. Kerry reminded me that the tea towels and camping chairs were getting wet whilst I was more concerned about the bikes and lack of sleep. It kept thundering for the next 4 hours so only grabbed the odd wink before getting up at about 9am.
Our Blois campsite confirmed by email so headed over for a 300k drive south-west along the peage. Costing 45 euros. Approaching Orleans got the busiest we'd seen on the road with the local service station looking like the M4 at rush hour.
Blois was just as hot and sweaty. Setting up the awning was hot work.
Across the campsite was a huge group of British cyclists which later had a bit of sing song in a Christian type of way. The other side of the site was a restaurant and a swimming pool which in the extreme heat every monsieur and his chien was swimming to cool down. For our evening nosh we fired up the barbie and had mergeuz and herb chipolatas, mushrooms and asparagus - possibly the best campsite BBQ ever.
Its either pronounced Bl-oi as in oi oi! Or Bl-Our.
