- weather pouring rain
- time 10.15
Despite our determination to meander and enjoy the slow route we have decided to try to outrun the rain and find the sun. Nowhere looks good in the rain.
Before we left the site a momentous milestone was reached - Pauline drove Hermione Hymer for the very first time.! The distance? About 15m. But it is a start.
D980 then A6 towards Lyon. Let's get some kilometres under our belt. It is a driving and a diet day.
Found GPL gaz on the motorway and decided to try our first fill. It is easy once you have attached the correct adaptor. 13.39litres = €11.64
Fueled at Auchan in Macon 60 litres = €72.07
We passed through Belleville not an aptly named town on the way into Villeneuve sur Saone. We crossed through the centre of Lyon at around 4 pm then on the N7 to Vienne. Still too wet to take photos. We crossed the Rhone at Tournon sur Rhone and whilst looking for our planned campsite happened upon a huge car park in beautiful surroundings. It was the car park for a restored steam train which runs trips through the Ardeche.
There were separate spaces for cars buses and camping cars. there were three vans parked in readiness for a train trip the next morning so we slotted in alongside them for the night. It was still raining.
