Mark spent a nervous morning listening to the Bombers footy match and was relieved when they were in front on the final siren. I spent the time catching up on the bookwork. We then went in search of a laundry mat. 'Murphy's law'- you can never find one when you need it! So we set off for the next town with an aire. We had passed through Chorges before and thought it would be a good place to go for today. We promptly got our washing done, the old fashion way and read whilst waiting for it to dry. We then went for a walk in the village and of course had to have a look at the 12th century church. The surrounding buildings were in various conditions, some all done up while others were ready to be pulled down. By the time we got back, the aire was full. In the holiday season it is necessary to arrive early to secure a spot. We enjoyed yummy lamb chops on the cadac and a nice bottle of Brouilly.
