While doing my marking, I thought about what I should do with my blog. In fact, it really is just a diary for me as noone ever seems to come and have a look at it. Why do some blogs get lots of hits and mine... none? Perhaps I am just boring!
So, I have left Lyon and am now on my hols. Yes, I was thinking about ship logs and thought that I might try to do something like that so that I can remember what I have done and some of the things I have seen and have happenned to me during my hols.
So I left home quite late on Wednesday evening. It was important that I leave although I still have so much still to do. Leaving meant that my vacation had started and that is important.
I drove about 100 kms to NANTUA, a town in the Ain to park by the lake. On my arrival around 22h30 I found that all the places just by the lake had been taken and I had been relegated to a place near the new train track that is being built. But, no matter, there are no trains yet, or so I thought.
Thursday morning I was awakened by someone talking just outside the camper. On opening the blind I saw a Police Municipal bloke. What was going on? In fact, they have now started charging campers staying overnight: 5€60 for a night. That is more than my allowance for the day!!
After many of the campers had left I changed position, with a view of the lake and began correcting one of the classes exams I have. During the afternoon many young people came to swim and mess around. I decided to change postion, as I didn't want to have to pay for another night so I carried on to LEAZ, just after Bellegarde and before the strait of the Rhone.
What a lovely little village. The number of times I have been just above it on my way to Genève, it has a great panorama of the Rhone and the Fort d'Ecluse. I will put the photos on the net tomorrow.
It was warm, and then a rumble followed by a flash and a real storm started over my head. On seeing that the weather looked a little better on the other side of the ridge of la Faucille, I thought I would come to THOIRY and make the most of the the WiFi at McDonalds. So, here I am, but not to stay forever!! Although I have spent almost 3 hours here already! Email checking, writing emails and so on.

Nice pictures Simon, the one with the mountains reminds me of the view across the bay here. You can see from Vancouver Island right across to the mountains on the mainland, very similar picture. Keep up the good work and stop worrying about being lonely. All good things come to those who wait.
