Despite our need to get on, after a late start and chatting with an English guy living in France, it was nearly mid-day before we left this pretty spot, now in bright sunshine. Must remember it for the future. Caumont-sur-Garonne.
Back onto the fast roads again although being Monday, it was a lot busier and we decided to push on. Bergerac saw us crossing the route we took last year exploring the Dordogne then on towards Limoges, stopping for lunch at an aire in La Coquille whilst looking for water - we hadn't been able to refill the tank at Caumont, a connector on the tap defeating our bag full of adapters. But, like many at this time of year, it hadn't yet been turned on - they'll probably do it tomorrow!
Well behind schedule now, we elected to jump up onto the A20 which is toll-free on this section and follows exactly the same route as our non-motorway plan but without the roundabouts. Our target was Chateauroux which we could have easily made but instead decided we needed a site tonight for showers etc. and the ACSI book told us of one "just off" the A20 that was open - again many do not open until 1 April......
Eguzon was about 10 minutes from the motorway and a very pleasant village. We were made very welcome at a nice site, obviously only just opened as it was practically deserted and we were asked to park on the roadway as the grass was still not properly dried out. All facilities (except the swimming pool - he did offer but thought it might still be a little cool) including WiFi. Cuppa, re-tuned the satellite TV (and got all the UK channels back) then showers before tea.
Sorry, no photos today.
