Today started with a bang and flash at about 1.00 as we encountered our second thunder storm un two days.

I watched the tent light up and a few seconds later came the bang of the thunder.

If not overhead then the storm was only 1km to our left. Another flash and bang now it’s a km to our right.

I’m not too sure how long it lasted except to say Jo had time to video some of it and then read her book.

I closed my eyes and went to sleep with the sound of thunder.

Luckily we had put our tarp on er the tent last night as a storm had been forecast. The tent wasn’t too wet and with quick wipe down was ready to pack up after coffee and breakfast.

Today was again a fairly flat ride except for the hills we pushed our bikes up.

Today we passed the Chataux of Menars which was supposedly given to madame Pompadour by King Louis xv.

Being the summer solstice the French are celebrating with a part and there’s a band playing in the next field. So it seems today will also end with a bang.

We ended up stopping at Muides sur Loire.
