We had a nice lunch. Some wanted to watch the match (don't ask which one, just think where they're from). They set off and we went into a bar opposite the car park .... and the match was on.

Very nice day! Sun, fine cuisine and above all the pleasure to meet you all and pleasure to share your trip. It's for me important to discover finally the persons I only read daily without to see their faces ...

We followed you toTours and left you to drive along the Loire until Amboise.

We wish you all a good evening at Orléans and we are looking forward to follow the suit of your trip ...

I mentioned it, but I'll leave it for you to explain.

 

I thought I would leave it for Lee, seeing as it was him who got me into the woofing mess in the first place
