| Sarlat |
Sunday 25th. The clocks went forward 1hr last night but we were away by around 8:50. We headed SW on delightful roads following the Dordogne. However due to a SatNav error Emily then tried to route us via the autoroute. So Dave set a route to Sarlat which took us through very small tracks / C roads. Eventually we hit the D60 and we arrived in Sarlat. It's still lovely; clearly very touristy but, apart from a group of Honda Pan riders, it was fairly clear. We walked into the centre, had a coffee and I visited the cathedral where Sunday Mass was taking place. The road from Sarlat to Les Eyzies and then towards Perigeux was fantastic. Not fantastic for sports riders but for the GT it was perfect; 60-80 mph with great sweepers with closer curves to keep you on your toes; and all around great scenery. Lunch in Brantôme was very welcome and really delicious; the Ceasar salad was one of the best I've had. From Brantôme it was directly back to Dave and Janet's (just under 2 hours) with a stop for petrol in Jonzac. I was impressed that, again I was averaging just over 50 mpg. Back in St Fort sur Gironde at 4:30 and all is well. Fabulous weather!
