Once again a new day brings a different outlook on things. While not exactly in high spirits, they're at least slightly above average with good prospect of increasing.
We received some excellent advice from our friend T. (our goto guy for all things mechanical) about the ejecting spark plug and decided just to drive Skippy and the hell with the consequences. If he breaks down again, we're still covered. At least we can ask that RAC take him to garage for a more comprehensive repair.
Today we went to Chateaux Villandry and D'Usse. Villandry we went inside. While not that spectacular compared to others, it had wonderful gardens, lake and a moat. Plus it was a lovely day to enjoy it.
D'Usse is like a fairy tale castle to look at: all white stone walls and blue turretts. However, it was 13 euros to go inside so we contented ourselves with a walk through the village, stopping at local produce centre where we picked up a very cheap and very tasty bottle of rose. The shop also had a map on the wall that you stick a pin into to show where you were from. Happy to say that we were the first from Paraburdoo and Bundaberg, respectively.
Tomorrow: further south, heading towards Lascaux.
