29 April - Day 11 Zeebrugge - Loire (Happy Birthday Pop!)

On the way from Zeebrugge to Loire we stopped off at Versaille for lunch... (we actually had our first rain during the car trip and although the sky looks dark in these pics we did not get wet).

The gates...
... in detail
Where did the boys go?
Surrounding rooftops from 'back porch' of the palace

Walking the dog at the palace
Hanging around at the palace
Strolling down to the pond at the palace
Small part of the front of the palace
Great shot by Seamus of the back garden at the palace.

Then we hit the road again and the sun came out and when we arrived in Loire Valley it was balmy again.
The view from our hotel room (out of the double glazed uPVC windows of course)
Bridge over la Loire
Chateau over la Loire

Lovely late afternoon sun over la Loire
Behind the chateau

We stopped for a drink...

... and an icecream
I had to have the purple one (lavande), of course
Great girlie window shopping (this is a little montage of a few favourites)
Lovely little old lady walking to the church
We wandered the streets after dinner

Back to our hotel
