Headwinds to Montresor

Set off today on the bikes to visit a chateau about 3 miles away but, just to make it interesting, Ian added in a 20 mile extra loop. The first half was like riding through the prairies of the mid West into the teeth of a strong headwind, so it quite pooped us. After a coffee stop we finally got a tail wind and got to our destination. Interesting visit, not least for the urn that contains a human heart! There was a sizeable display of taxidermy, too. The Chateau at Montresor dates back to 1050 but was restored by a Polish chap in the 1800s. He brought water to the village and built schools and a hospital so everybody loved him and all the streets in the (one of the most beautiful in France) village are called after him.
Back to the campsite to find some sort of school triathlon going on round and in the lake. Wonder if they know about those big pike.....もっと詳しく
