Day 56 – Châteaudun

It was cold last night as we evidenced with a significant frost on the windscreen. I didn\’t put the screen covers on but will do tonight if it\’s going to be similar in future nights on the way home.

Our first stop was to go and get some fuel from the close by Carrefour. At €1 a litre it\’s still pretty cheap. Filled the tank but we will need more before we exit France.

As we drove along the outside temperature warning light was consistently telling me how cold it was as the beware ice symbol was displayed. For most of the journey it didn\’t get above 3°C. We arrived at the overnight stop early afternoon. I had decided to make today a shorter journey and tomorrow a longer journey. The reasons: On a Sunday there are less trucks on the roads and also. Wanted to listen / watch the AFC Bournemouth match.

We raised the satellite dish and I watched some rugby internationals and also tried to use the Internet to get the football. The Internet was so poor I had to put up with a live blog instead but I did gave the consellation that Match of the Day would be on later and I will be able to watch it.

More rugby and then watched \”The Voice\” on BBC1. Later I was able to catch up on MOTD whilst Tina went to bed.

I did remember to put the windscreen cover on tonight as it\’s going to be yet another cold night.

Tomorrow we make our way to Wissant in readiness for the short drive to the tunnel crossing on Monday morning.
