We stopped overnight at a hotel and met up with Tony and Shirley.  On hearing that Yvette & I had hot air from the heating system in our car Tony very kindly produced (and fitted!) two caps for the heating tubes that cured the problem perfectly.

We had a pleasantly informal evening meal in the restaurant over the road

and once refreshed we headed East

We stopped at a Carrefour supermarket at Moulins some 15km from our final destination to stock up on groceries for the camping

we were amongst the first to check in.

The campsite we were given was very basic and the field was very boggy which ensured that there were lots of  mosquitoes and midges to bite us ferociously.

A rowdy group from Orléans ensured that we got very little sleep, but the weather was mostly dry and the flea market was good so we made sure that we enjoyed our stay.
