2005, Day Seven, Limeuil.

Day seven 30th June

Walked over the two bridges to the village, then just keep walking until we ended up at the top of the village, at the Château and gardens (Jardin Musée de Limeuil).

As we where there, we paid up the entrance fee and had a wander round the garden.  Glorious views over the rivers and valley from the gardens, although it did cloud over for a time in the afternoon, it was still very warm.

Now a word of warning, there was a giant redwood tree, so I thought it would be a good idea to stand against it for a photo, to show its size.  Well its not a good idea, the bark comes off and attaches itself very well to your clothes and takes ages to get off.

That night back over the bar for a couple of drinks but this time the it's Dutch couple from the caravan next to us that we get talking to and this time, end up having a few more outside our van with them.  We find out from them that they are not using the showers in the amenity's block, or the one in their caravan but have setup a makeshift shower outside (with canvas round) and are using that.  They do not seem bothered that there are no drains and I think that their other dirty water was just draining onto the ground as well (don't know what they were doing abut the toilet, it doesn't bear thinking about).
