Camping de la Motte, Marcilly - sur - Vienne

So used to early starts Angela was up at six even though we didn't leave until just after eight thirty after the campsite office opened so we could pay. Today we would cycle along the road to Chatellerault and join the Euro velo 3 cycle route. It took a while to find our way out of the town, the route badly sign posted.

Angela stopped to buy a bottle of water. In front of her at the check out two offensive smelling men bought a two litre plastic bottle of rose wine and paid the 2.45 euros in cents, probably acquired from begging. How long would it take for them to drink it?

After passing between fields of sunflowers, some in full bloom, their bright yellow heads tilting slightly towards the sun, others patiently waiting to mature we arrived at a dubious looking campsite.

It's turned out to be alright though. The couple in the campervan opposite are from near Grantham, Lincolnshire. We chatted with them a while before settling down for the evening. Tonight we think we will sleep well. We've cycled around thirty miles, not always easy, sometimes with a head wind. An early start tomorrow. We are aiming to reach Amboise on the Loire. It's around sixty miles away.
