Day Two


Things that have gone wrong so far: 

(1) Caravan tail lights on near side have stopped working. (This doesn't include the indicators and brake lights, but means we now daren't travel after dark.) 
(2) The inside lights in the caravan stopped working. (We have torches.)
(3) The Weather. (Getting progressively worse the further south we travel.) 

Pretty chuffed with that lot. Was expecting far worse. 

We were on the road at 7 and travelled, uneventfully, from north of Le Mans to Tours to Poitiers to Bordeaux and almost to Bayonne, near the Spanish border. Boring motorway driving all the way, but the animals are being brilliant, despite the drugs having worn off, and Titty, usually so flighty and neurotic, is taking it all in her stride as if she was BORRRRN to travel, dahlink. Leia is making funny noises and demanding huge amounts of food, but she's exactly like that at home. 

Slept better, but beginning to understand why New Age Travellers have acquired the nickname 'Crusties'.

PS Excuse the typos in last paragraph of yesterday's blog. Darted=farted and Weed=wees. 

Miles driven: 450
Craps in Landrover: 1
Craps in caravan: 0
Wees in both vehicles: 14 (all in correct places except that one Richard did)
