and then onto Tours - Tuesday

The long drive from Perigueux, up the Loire Valley was long, but interesting. We have been stopping at truck cafes along the way for morning and afternoon breaks when we have been on the road. Fabulous dispensing machines and the coffee hasn't been to bad at all. The Travellers have bought more than their fair share of decorative tins at these stops. The bus rattles with all of  them.

Le Mans was one of our stops and I managed to find a race t-shirt to purchase. Hope it's the right size Barney.

Lunch was at Amboise. What a delightful town it is. After lunch we walked up to Chateau d'Amboise and walked around for an hour. What a lovely place.

Fabulous street signs



Paula finally found a door that was just the right size!
