Dampierre-sur-Loire, arrival
There's no pictures for today . . . we stayed over in this Travelodge affair over in Portsmouth the previous night. After the ferry crossing (where I think my tiredness led me to order something bizarre called 'Raw Salmon Carpaccio with Dill' - very tasty actually) and a remarkably painless journey from Caen to Saumur, we had a tiny amount of confusion over the directions for the house itself, but got there barely five minutes later than the arranged time of 16:00. Pretty good, I thought. But yeah . . . we didn't really sleep at all last night (the room was too hot, I suspect) so after unpacking our stuff, we headed for the nearest supermarket, stocked up on stuff, had some dinner and put A****** to bed. And that was about it . . .
