Well we managed to get a reasonable night's sleep inspire of the bed. When we went down for breakfast there was nobody around finally the chef turned up and we had a continental breakfast of sorts. There was nobody at reception either so in the end the chef checked us out. When we got back on the road we passed a racing track and realized there was a race meeting on over weekend, hence the reason it was hard to get a room. We just picked wrong town. The overcast skies soon gave way to showers. We headed for Saumur in the Loire region intending to eat a late lunch and book into a hotel, however as soon as we parked the car the rain came down hard. We looked at each other and quickly decided it was time to get back on road to UK. A quick stop for fuel followed by a quick stop at MacDonalds to use their free wifi to book a hotel in Rouen and we were back on the road in pouring rain for another two and half hours. After booking in and freshening up we walked across the road to France's version of Sizzlers and had an OK meal and too much cheap wine. Then back to room booked tunnel crossing and got off to sleep.
