Mainly back on the Loire today, a few little offshoots including one very long and steep hill, which in this heat was a little challenging, but other cyclists had stopped on the way up, but we kept going and were probably the most heavily laden, and the oldest.
Yet again we rode through a number of lovely villages, crossed the river a couple of times and the route was mainly on small roads.
The variety of scenery is very surprising, building styles change as we progress down river, churches vary such a lot and often are the first thing you see of a village. Thee are a vast number of chateaux, many open to the public, but there are also many grand but smaller properties that appear still to be homes. Many of the gardens are immaculate, behind big gates or walls. The weather continues to be unseasonably hot, 29 here today.
A couple of days will see us at the end of the Loire, then we have to find our way to St. Malo.
