Have had a great weekend for Lynns birthday, really hot, high 80’s each day. Friday morning we cycled into the nearest town, to get there you had to cross the Rhone which looked really good for cruising. The town was very industrial and busy, so we just bought some supplies and returned to the camp. The afternoon was spent around the pool cooling off.

Saturday, we had a cooked breakfast as requested by the birthday girl before starting her birthday lucky dip and presents. A huge thank you to Nina and Steve for the books, they are just what we (I mean Lynn!) needed. You’re so organised it’s scary! We managed to skype home and speak to the guys, which was great. Again we spent the afternoon around the pool, this time the flume was open, which was great fun, but whilst the girls shot down I kept getting stuck, I blamed my swimming shorts!

In the evening we had some bottles of wine and a special meal, which was nice but very filling!
