Ralph and Amber left for home after lunch, Amber spent the morning in the pool with Gran. They left about 14:00, with the plan of avoiding toll roads on the way back to Dunkerque. That managed it with about 20 mins to spare.
Me, Dot, Mick and Bren, went for a drive into Blois where we had a walk along the river. As it was the hottest day so far we found a nice little bar and settled down outside for a couple of drinks. We got some very nice Wendelinus Abbye beer form Meteor, but Mick thought it was a bit strong (he was driving), so he gave his to me and got a weaker Meteor Lager.
We had another BBQ for tea and then went over to the kids club show at the bar, as part of the show the girls had learned the New Zealand haka and they were very good. We stopped over the bar for a few beers as it was our last night there and we were using Euro vouchers we got before we set off from home.
The deal with the vouchers was, one voucher was £1.00 and could be exchanged for €1.25 in goods from the campsite (food, beer, etc), whereas the best exchange rate I got away was on my debit card of €1.17 or at home €1.11. So not a bad deal, with the vouchers and we took Nicole's unused vouchers for the next campsite. As a rule when away, I use my debit card for anything I can and have usually got a better exchange than by another method.
