Up early and left as the sun started to shine and along the La Loire river. Soon had a second breakfast of blackberries. Across the river on the railway line. This train nearly blew Annette off the bridge.
If she thought she had to hang on for it she was very soon in for a rude shock. The next one came towards us at warp speed like a brick. I couldn't get a photo as I was hanging on. Mostly walking through grape vines today and visited a couple of small hamlets where there were more cave dwellings.
Into Amboise along this nice avenue of plane trees. Our drive way in 100 odd years?
Into the camping ground and all set up and washing out to dry. Annette made me shift the tent. Said it was too close to the road. If you saw all the ladies walking to and from the pool you wouldn't have thought so.
A group of scouts walked past. Why is it the girls always carry way to much junk attached to the outside of their packs? What if it were to rain?
Into town and had a look at a glass blowing workshop then to Chateau Clos Luce where Leonard de Vinci spent the last three years of his life.
They had it all set up with small scale models and some full scale models (in the gardens) of his inventions and ideas.
Lovely old bridge in the garden.
His paddle boat.
Tank
Great garden beds just along the road in the town.
Hot air balloons leaving the camping ground in the evening.
View of the town from the island.
Annette took an interest in this big fellow.
Back to the camping ground to find that heaps of people have arrived and our little tent is now surrounded by other tents.
Off to Blere tomorrow on the La Cher river. Not far.
