Slow and steady wins the race

We left Carnac (a place which we quite liked), and set off to meet with the Wilkes' and the Lancasters just east of Royen. Now if you take time to study your maps, you will realise that this was some journey. The 241 miles was way beyond what we intended to do and I was desperate for liquid refreshment upon arrival. Many thanks to Julian for coming to the rescue with that! A lovely evening of kids larking about, food, wine and lovely adult company finished shortly after midnight. A late night for all, but was once again lovely to meet up with friends. We are here for 3 nights, but may need to rethink our plans. We entirely bypassed La Rochelle, so will need to go back for a mooch I think, and we are a (relative) stones throw from Fort Boyard which is well worth a look. So time to take a little of my own advice, 'slow and steady wins the race!'
