The drive to the Limousin and the first night camping

We had a quick wander around Rouen this morning, visiting the cathedral and buying a PAYG SIM for my smartphone so we can use data at a reasonable price while away (not for email, I might add!).  I did the first part of the drive which was quite hard work on not very major roads and driving through a few towns.  Gordon did a longer motorway drive after lunch and we eventually got to our campsite around 6pm, having stopped off for a few groceries and some petrol in Boussac.

We had a fairly average steak haché in the campsite restaurant while a huge thunderstorm started.  We were glad we had got the tent up before that.  The bar area was a bit like a giant kindergarten nightmare as there were so many kids in there, presumably hiding from the thunderstorm.  We went to bed around 10pm after being hounded off our table by a bunch of six-year-olds playing cards!  The rain was incredibly heavy but the tent managed to keep us largely dry.  The storm eased sometime after midnight and after that we slept quite well.
