The second day of our trip was a big one. Sometimes the trail was through the woods and other times it was along small backroads which seemed to go on forever. It felt like all the signs pointed exactly in the direction I did not want to go in, such as this one.
 |
| Some hills were worth walking... |
 |
| A church in one of "les plus belles villes de la France" |
 |
| Emma and I swam in a shallow part of the river while the boys had a nap. The current was still really strong and would sweep you away if you didn't hold onto the sand. There was a couple on the beach, in typical French style: the man was fishing and the woman sunbathing topless. |
 |
| There are cottonwoods everywhere and they're all in bloom. Many fluffs ended up in my mouth and eyes as well as this pond. |
 |
| Poppies everywhere |
 |
| A cat that joined us for lunch. Reminded me of my kitten back home a lot. He was so hungry he ate bits of baguette. |
 |
| I visited the gardens of Villandry while the others had a drink. |
After a long day we finally found the campsite at Ballan-miré. They had a pool which we immediately jumped into. There were plenty more Dutch couples in caravans. We all began to realize that the only people who have time to do la Loire à vélo are retired couples and Erasmus students.
