I managed to break a hose off the heater in the car this morning whilst checking the oil and topping up the screen wash. This of course meant I couldn't start the engine as coolant would have soon sprayed everywhere! I was very impressed with Europ Assistance who, after my call, sent someone within an hour who took me and the car back to his garage in Parsac (about 25km away) and did a temporary repair (bypassing the heater) that will last for the rest of the holiday.
We were supposed to have left Creuse before lunchtime but eventually managed to get everything packed up and left around 3.30pm. We had chosen a shorter but rather more mountainous and windy route which proved extremely hard work driving. We got to the next campsite, near Barjac, around 9pm, just in time to get the tent up as it was getting dark. We shared the remains of a bottle of wine and went to bed exhausted!
