On to chartres

So lets get it clear….i had been calling it ‘chart-res’….but apparently its pronounced ‘chat’.

So after hoping we would get breakfast at the expensive huttopia campsite(after all the had a menu and advertised it)only to be asked did you book it yesterday….er well no….you did not mention nor does it stay this anywhere!!. So my ‘nameless’ Welsh friend bought me a coffee as i donated my unused Paris metro tickets to her.

She went for another swim…I hit the road.

Was I nice cycle through lots of small villages with a lot of good views about.. rolled into charters municipal campsite reasonable early and set up camp.

I had two things planned, one go to the massive water park I had been recommended. And check out the town.

First part was a big fail….after a hassle getting a ticket due to computer failure…got changed showers and was just about to hit the first pool when attendant gave me verbal volley in french…the equivalent of ‘verboton’… what you may ask…the swim shorts I have used round the world. But not in France it seems!.

So town next a bit of a poke about and looked at catherderal….rather impressive.

This cheeky chap in random small village….he had some less impressive freinds

Some lovely carvings

Town was realky nice, found a cafe(the cafe blue) by the catherderal.

Had fine meal there with good wine in blazing sun.
