    Gorges du Verdon

    May 28 in France ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We thought we would travel the 100 or so miles to spend some time in the Gorges du Verdon. Following the sat nav, which doesn't know we have a 7.8m caravan in tow, took us up into the mountains and through the gorge on roads we shouldn't really have been on. A bus coming the opposite way nearly took us out on a sharp bend, and a motorcyclist behind the bus nearly ended up on the back seat. Anyway, the gorge was spectacular with a 1000ft drop to my right.
    Made it to the camp site in one piece and quickly looked at the route out again. I think we're staying here for a few days to calm down.
