Day 2 - So A day divided by three sections

Sleep a bit on the left side. Wake up aching. Sleep on the right side. Wake up aching. Ok maybe a bit on my back. Oh no too uncomfortable. That's the story of last night. I hope tonight is better.
The day has three distinct sections. Some lovely quiet roads with some serious climbing, then onto a very busy road (not planned as D773 sounded mundane when I plotted it) and the last bit (15 miles) along an off road canal cycling path which we prayed would finish quickly but it didn't. And that after we looked forward to it as it was flat! The canal path was brown loose gravel. Rocking bottoms and bouncing wrists. And endless! Ouch!

Saw a lot of Geraniums, Hydrangeas and huge churches.  The French like their churches!
Tonight we are at Camping St.Clair in Guenrouet. Lovely site. We cycled past the pool on the way in which was crowded with loud children. I didn't go.

We were so so tired when we arrived. Just flopped down on a picnic bench which formed part of an empty pitch. Tent got up eventually and we found some free electricity to charge our several devices. I forgot to add the Ravpower solar panel and power bank to my equipment post. It comes in handy.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, we have a whopping 71mi to do but thinking we might cut it shorter. We will see.

Distance today 58 miles
Climbing 2574 ft
Beautiful flowers in baskets everywhere!
Another haybale animation - made me smile! 
So many big churches in the towns
