Tour day 4 - picnic in the French countryside

Woke at about 8.30 for a 9am breakfast. I had Coco Pops, ham, egg, toast, and coffee - yum.

We collected our wine and picnic hampers and headed off on a walk to 'the top of the world' at about 10.15. It was hard work and our group went the wrong way at the end for a couple of minutes and missed out on the glory of being the first ppl there. Everyone got up there, sat down and kinda crashed.

We ate long baguette sticks with camembert, ham, and tomato with some beaujolais, and it was very nice - a lovely lunch with a lovely view.

Sue and I headed off just before 1pm and came back to have a shower (but there was still no hot water [BOO!! HISS!!]). Then we got our diaries and are currently sitting under huge shady trees on soft green grass relaxing. It's so nice to stop for a while. As Sue said, it feels like a holiday now.

After that, we sort of felt at a loose end for a few hours. She went to kick a football and we organised online time - 30FF for half an hour. The keyboard was totally fucked for typing coz the 'a' and 'z' were backwards, the 'w' and 'x' were backwards, and the 'm' was where the apostrophe usually is. Also you needed shift to use the numbers. Anyway, I got an email written and sent, and read almost all of the ones I received.

We had dinner after that - it was a pork casserole with veges. We had sorbet for dessert, which was fruity and too rich.

Afterwards, a multitude of card games started, and we all played spoons, plus some silly games. After that, a kind of party developed in our room with me, Sue, Laura, Sarah, San Franciso Matt, and Alicia's Matt. We all had a fairly early night - I was asleep by 11pm I think.
