25/05/2014 : Pont D'Ouilly

Sunday

This morning the sun shone. And hid. And shone a bit more. J & M went for a short cycle and then J also ran. She was then keen to finish the triathlon in true Jack style so took a dip in the neighbouring river for the sake of completion. A, who had previously sustained a number of semi-serious injuries, rendering her unable to participate in such strenuous activities, read her book instead. 

Croissants, baguette and fresh strawberries were bought from the local town / market. We then re-embarked upon our journey in F. M had many a dispute with the satnav and we all clung to the edge of our seats as J took to the wheel. Thankfully we escaped without any casualties (and by that I simply mean between nervous driver, J, and even more nervous co-driver, M.) 


Another great riverside spot
M = OIC BBQ

We finally reached a particularly pretty and peaceful aire and after a short exploration of the nearby small, but pleasant  town, (though we suggest one of the local households sack their landscape gardener), J & A prepared food and M emptied the toilet. 


A glass (or bottle in some cases) of wine and lush BBQ finished the day off nicely. Now just time for them to read this entry and disagree with various aspects of it. Bon nuit.







P.S. Jo did not go  for a swim in the River - that was just Amelia's poetic licence!!
P.P.S. Aire was at Pont D'Ouilly.                                  
P.P.P.S. If you hadn't guessed the author of today's blog was Amelia who hijacked the computer.                            
Aire €11.00. 
145 miles
