Today's been the hardest day for me so far. Lots of hills & roasting sunshine.
We left Gien quite late this morning and headed west as the main road from Gien to Bourges is too busy for us. We soon made our way back onto the country roads though.
We have seen quite a bit of the French countryside so far and we are both looking forward to getting into the hills at some point.
We arrived in Henrichemont around 1630 & with 30 Km to still do to reach Bourges we decided to call it quits for the day & find a suitable place to stay the night.
Once agin, we are in a campsite.
Dinner tonight was lush. LOADS of rice, 2 peppers, an onion and a jar of Korma sauce. Went down a treat. Usually we eat spaghetti and veg with some sort of tomato sauce and an added splash of basil.
We spend all day cycling through the countryside and then we get to the campsite and have nothing to do. Nights become pretty boring. We can't go to the pub/town because we can't leave all our gear in our tents etc. We are thinking about changing our schedule and starting really early in the morning (leave camp for 0700) and going to sleep as the sun sets.
Aiming to stay in a hostel tomorrow night somewhere. I look forward to the beds and showers! I stink...
