Got up at 5.50am to get the 7.15 bus to the Loire Valley - crazy we know - but we are home now and have had a great, if not extremely tiring, day. Went first to Chenonceau - the most beautiful we think. Weather was lovely - too hot actually at times so needed to seek some shade to have our picnic lunch. Spent the most time at this one.
Then on to Chiverny - lovely privately owned chateau which is open to the public. Last chateau was Chambord - huge hunting lodge with the double staircase. Google them - awesome.
Back at hotel now with a bottle of wine and baguette for dinner 'cos we can't find the pizza place we were going to go for dinner - easy to forget where things are when you are menopausal! Sharon is fast asleep in her clothes on the bed - one glass and it's over and out!
Talk tomorrow. Budget today - well under! Have to make up for yesterday!
Great going so far girls!! Can imagine how exhausting it is - poor Sharon - you need more chocolate to stay awake!! We were in the Loire Valley 24 years ago, in our Combi campervan - OMG how time flies =)
