Day 13 – 17th May 2009 – Sunday, Pons – Casteljaloux.

Thunder, lightening and more torrential rain during the night meant we woke to a complete marshland inside the awning!! Not good.
We showered and packed away all the soggy gear and simply set off for the South. There must be some sun somewhere … surely. (Or maybe Tim has taken a last minute holiday to France… bet that’s it … typical!).After four hours on the road, the sun finally broke through and we stopped at a lovely Aire on the River Dronne just outside La Roche-Chalais for some lunch and a go on the pen fishing rod which turned out to have a clutch problem!, so we moved on again. By 5pm we had found this campsite in a small town called Casteljaloux, on the river. I’m still feeling very drained and have developed a very irritating muscle tick beneath my left eye, so Ant cooked a much needed chicken curry and I got another early night.
