Loire

Sorry for delay, we are posting from a village square in montrichard where we have hijacked a local wifi signal

Day 4: Loire
Arrived safely in Montressour after a fairly uneventful 4 hr drive, no toll trauma’s to report having mastered this particular challenge. Kiera’s a dream traveller – abolutely nothing like her mother at that age – or maybe it’s difference the between travelling equiped with an in car DVD, Nintendo DS and on- board drawing desk v’s my earlier experiences in the back of a our trusty Renault 12, bare legs sticking to the leatherette seat , melting in the heat, listening to my brother crune/crow “It took a long time to leave you Lucille”!!
Gite absolutely fab – what a first experience of French Rural accommodtion, everything we could have dreamed of here, right down to the welcome basket of bottle of red wine, break stick and slab of local cheese and to top it all the owner is from Glasgow – home from home!!
Local area looks really exciting – well recommended zoo, some incredilble chateau (RJL will visting the mushroom caves alone, but I’m sure they’ll be... er facinating! Really looking foward to exploring in earnest tomorrow.
Only downside is the fact that the walls of gite are too thick to accommodate wi-fi so we’ll be hunting for a cyber-cafe tomorrow to get this blog entry on.
Love & hugs to all K,K & R xxxx
