France Sep 2011, Day Five

Day five, 1st Sep

Quite a changeable day weather wise but still warm. Picnic made we set off for another drive, we stuck to the river and headed the opposite way to yesterday. We had no plans but I though it would be nice to visit Beaugency, where we had stopped for a few days in 2005. It wasn't long before we came to a bridge over the river that I didn't have a photos of, so we pulled over to get some.

Muides-sur-Loire Bridge (1931)

We parked below the bridge and as there was play park and picnic area, we had our lunch by the river. We were plagued by mosquitoes, so in the end we didn't stop there for too long. I took a photo of the campsite there and we got back on the road, away from the bugs.

We arrived at Beaugency and crossed the river over the river via the very nice old bridge, then continued along the riverside passed the Aire, out of town, to see if I could get a good shot of the bridge.

After the photo session, we headed back into town and parked by the river, then set of for a walk round, no surprise, it hadn't changed at all, since our last visit. It was also as quiet as the last time we were there, although the Aire was full.

Amber had a play in a park while we had a sit with a wonderful view over the river. Just about the time we were done walking and playing it started to rain a bit, so it was back to the car.
We drove back along the other side of the river but I was not as good a drive and we ended up in heave traffic in Blois. Eventually I stopped following the satnav and headed down to the river, where the roads were a lot quieter.

Back in Onzain we parked up to have a look round the small market there and also had a quick beer in a bar before going back to the site and the pool. Later after food, we headed to the bar to see what the entertainment was for the night

Worryingly the pain in my stomach was not going away.
