2005, Day Eleven, Limeuil.

Day eleven 4th July

There was one really annoying thing about this site, as it was getting towards the main holiday season and the site was filling up, they started to put tents (lots of tents) on the grassed area between the marked out pitches and the river.  There even seemed to be people who were just sleeping in their cars, this to me spoiled a good site, anyway instead of getting bothered about it we decided we would move on tomorrow, and note never to come back in peak season (not that we were likely to anyway).

Back on the scooter again today for a visit to Le Bugue, we parked up next to a Intermarché by the river and had a walk around town.  Dot saw posters for an aquarium (Aquarium du Périgord Noir) so we set of to find it, it wasn't very big but it was quite enjoyable, there was also a county centre (The Village of Bournat) next door but I didn't fancy it.  There is also a campsite behind these attractions, we didn't get a good look at it but it is central for visiting Le Bugue.

 

Got some provisions from the supermarket before setting off back to the site.  On the way back from Le Bugue we rode up into the hills above Limeuil to checkout another campsite we had seen advertised, looked like a very nice site but it was a bit far out.  We also had a car try to kill us on the way back but anyone with a motorbike/scooter will know this is not a very unusual or infrequent occurrence.

Thought we would pop over to the village for a drink on the night but the bar we sat outside looked like it was closing so we finished our drinks and wandered to the next place and got a good seat.  When the waitress came over, she informed us that they only serve food and had no drinks licence (what), there are one or two other places higher up the hill but that was too far for me, so we just went back to the site and had a drink there by the van watching for bats.
