Tours

Every hotel has a room for storing bikes. There must be thousands of bikes every day along the Loire. Tours will be our last hotel on it so we thought it would be a good idea to book for tonight.



Skipped the hotel breakfast and opted for fruit and a coffee from the market.



I want a few pot plants like these in our town square back in Katikati. Brighten it up !



There's a weed amongst those sunflowers. If I have one complaint of this area it's the total lack of toilets. You see people diving into the bushes all the time and of course being French , they don't dive far🙄






Chaumont Chateaux and some traditional bateaux ( boats )







What was supposed to be 55kms to Tours was growing as the trail snaked around vineyards and villages. These houses are all underground. Just the front wall to paint !





We stopped in Amboise beside the chateaux for lunch when who should come along but Fifi


She had a confession. Her name was actually Tena and they had come from Switzerland. Apparently she just preferred to be called Fifi.


ENOUGH !! By the time we got to our hotel we'd done 75 twisted tortuous kms and then to top it off, the bargain I'd booked online had us on the top floor (4 of them)
