Rocs and Holes

Wow, it's getting hot here.

The river is still high and so we head to Rocamadour which is a town built into the side of a tall rocky hill. It has a few churches, a chateau and many shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful cassoulet maison (direct translation; home made casserole with three types of sausage and a duck drumstick) in one of the restaurants over looking the valley.

After a stroll and soaking in the sights we headed to Gouffre de Padirac (Chasm of Padirac) which happens to be a massive hole in the ground followed by an underground river and many wonderful, large stalactites and stalagmites that looked like stacks of plates.

The driving today was away from all the fast motorways that we've done so far. Instead, it was twisty country lanes and up and down the valleys. However, on the way back the sat-nav decided to take us on a "fast", as-the-crow-flies, direct route down narrow slow roads which added an extra 45 minutes to our journey.

Being tired and a little fed up we decided to eat in a local restaurant and postponed our BBQ for another day.
