Last post from Orleans.

Just a quick post, as the campsite in Paris is a bit grim, and so I don't think there will be an internet connection there, so we are not sure when we will be blogging again. We are still in Orleans, enjoying our last day here. We will be on the move again tomorrow.

The weather has been good on the whole, just cold morning and evening. We have enjoyed being here. This is really what we like to do; stay somewhere with easy access to a nice town, and then spend our time wandering about, enjoying the atmosphere (although we are spending a lot of time in McDonald's these days). As well as the river festival, there has also been street theatre, music etc. One afternoon we sat and watched two actors reciting classic poetry, and we really enjoyed it, although we could hardly understand a word. It seemed such an old-fashioned thing to do, somehow. The bar we were sitting at was family run, and was the old-fashioned bar/newsagent combination. It was all rather different.

The campsite has been full every night, with people stopping on the carpark overnight. They have really packed them in. It seems to a good stopping off place for people travelling North and South. Although I paint a poor picture of the site in Paris, it absolutely great with regard to access to the city. There is a bus outside the site, which drops us off at the Metro. We are there in next to no time. We are looking forward to it.

That's all for now, folks! Love to everyone. Chris.
