Travelling on

A final picture to say goodbye. We set off for home in the morning, stay overnight at St Malo and catch the ferry back to Portsmouth on Tuesday morning. Then its the long drive all way back to the north, so we won't be home till - possibly, depending on traffic flow and hold ups - late afternoon, early evening.

The weather is hotter than ever today. Even Sam the labrador is exhausted walking in the sun.

Tomorrow promises to be hot, too, with temperatures on the Loire hitting 32 degrees. But eventually we will have to adjust to cooler temperatures.
