Well it had to happen: we were woken by rain pattering on the tent on the day we were due to leave. Not another wet pack up!! Fortunately it was short lived and soon all was dry again. But bitterly cold and with lots of new snow on the high tops; in fact it continued to snow high up all morning. After breakfast it was a delight to empty and then load the car in the dry. It was the best packing and loading of the car we have had, including leaving home a month ago. Never mind it's only take a few weeks to finally get organised. When we had finally loaded up it was time to go and pay. Horror the machine wouldn't accept the Carte Bleu. Fortunately a machine fault and not the card. We had to pop into the village, though to get some more cash with which to pay. Still it did give us the opportunity to visit the Cave whose vineyards I had photographed a couple of evenings ago; and to but some more wine.
Finally it was time to reluctantly turn our backs on the Vercors. What a fabulous spot; we shall be back. Out journey took us through beautiful countryside to Valence where we had to join the motorway again. Not for long, however, and once through the traffic queues at Lyon it was soon time to turn off at Macon for Cluny. We have been looking forward to some hotel luxury and found it second try, the first one was 'Complet, Monsieur'. We are situated on the river in Cluny and having enjoyed a beer while updating the blog it will soon be time to go down for a meal.
Tomorrow we intend to look round the old town and its abbey and then move on to explore Taize before heading up towards Troyes.
