Well having put shoes & all other wet items on the heated towel rail, everything seems to be dry. Great news!

Today has been an “easy” day, 80 miles & 3000 ft of ascent. Cycling past fields of corn, wheat, barley & sunflowers scattered with wild poppies, absolutely beautiful, I think the sunflowers 🌻 will be flowering during the Tour de France.

We passed some beautiful Château and had a lovely lunch in a small cafe. To make sure we kept our heads down, we had rain 🌧️ again, fortunately not quite as bad as yesterday but certainly enough so we didn’t deviate off route to look at any more Château or the troglodytes dwellings, 🙁 We are now in a lovely hotel and about to go out for some supper. The weather forecast for tomorrow is more thunderstorms & rain, fingers crossed they have it wrong.

bon appétit

Back to the start

On to Day 4
