France holiday day 6 - Last chateau then Futuroscope camping

My free satnav took us on some strange diversions twice: once saying we should have turned around even though it suggested the right way in the first place making us go a very long scenic loop; the second through some town away from the motorway we should've been on. Next time I'll check the route.

Château de Chenonceau was a little further than expected but at least in the right direction for tomorrow's Futuroscope visit near Poityers. Unfortunately for us it tipped it down with rain as we arrived then warmed up quickly to hot. A pretty chateaux like a bridge across the Loire and some quaint gardens.

Over an hour's drive we make it to Saint Cyr campsite next to a lake - a very well laid out site set up for families plus the lake water was warm enough even for me to swim. Some free wifi in the main building.
Location: Saint-Cyr, France

Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
