This is getting annoying. At this rate, I'm going to go home paler than I arrived! It's been very overcast again today and rained a lot. We decided to head out as the weather was so bad and visited some local caves. They are the only example of prehistoric caves that are open to the public in France so it was really interesting to see. The English-speaking guide was only available in the afternoon so we looked around their museum and their outdoor exhibit on the prehistoric people and their life on the site before we had our picnic. When we eventually got down into the caves, our guide was really interesting and obviously a scholar on the subject as he was very passionate and knowledgeable. They have found remains of people, pots and even mountain lions in the caves and he showed us the small piece that we could access as the full length of the explored caves are nearly eleven kilometres. At the surface, it was raining a lot so we postponed our planned canoe adventure and headed home. The remainder of the day was spent drinking wine, reading, playing Scrabble and we've just finished a two hour marathon of Uno. James has also just finished his book and I'm on my last of the eight 'True Blood' books that I brought with me. Not quite how I thought this holiday would pan out - same amount of reading but much more tanning!
