To the south of France

---

We are now a few days further and we will try to continue with our story. We finished on the Farm where we stayed two days in a you could say Convent. absolutely nothing there. Not even a radio and the Internet mostly not there. The good part was the breakfast. A long table where all the Guests were seated at 8.30 in the morning to enjoy a simple breakfast. It was the Company that made he breakfast. The stories from all the guests were amazing. This was our last day there. The weather was not improving and we left the farm in wet conditions. Our next stop was Blois more land inwards that had a nice Chateaux. It was at the Loire where most of the castles are.in France. Approaching a small village we could see some chairs and trucks at a parking place. Well like in Australia where trucks stop food must be good. We were right. We asked for coffee and a sandwich. The coffee was black no problem but the sandwich was a meal and a half. It suppose to be a ham and cheese sandwich. It was half a French stick loaded with camembert and ham, no way we could eat all that so most of it was packed in a paper bag for later. We easy found our place of stay in Blois. The parking was underneath and not that hard to enter. We had to climb a few stairs to get to our room. Not to tired we went out and walked to the Chateaux but it was already closed. It stays long light in the summer and you make easy a mistake in the time. We will saw the Chateaux the next day well worth the visit. It dated from 13th century. Over the years more was build to it. You also had a nice few over the river Loire. We now could see a break in the weather. Some blue was appearing and the sun was trying hard to show his smiling face. We were now on the way to Cognac. A lovely little place in the Bordeaux wine area. This time the parking was a bit harder. Entering a small gate a tiny place was given where we could park the car. It was not the only thing that was tiny. We hardly could move around in this Bed and Breakfast establishment.. The shower was so small you had to open the door to wash your feet. We only stayed the one night so we left it. We went out check out this very nice city.
