Yesterday (Saturday 21 May) was quiet. We drove in to the Uzes markets, which were much larger than the Wednesday version. After an hour and a half of browsing, we headed home. I was feeling ill,and Boronia had been not feeling well earlier, so we decided to call it quits for the day. I lay down and promptly slept for three hours. I assume Boronia read while I rested. Dinner was a spanish omelette Boronia conjured up from eggs bought at the market and some potatoes we had left over from earlier market forays.
Today was more energetic. We drove west to Ales, with the intention of visiting the Museum there, unfortunately it is only open tin the afternoon. We did stop in at a suburban market, where i bought a coffee in a bar full of north african men, boronia spent twenty minutes in the market, again largely serving north african community.
We drove on to Banne, a lovely community in the lower Ardeche,where we had lunch in an upmarket restaurant and then walked for an hour. We drove on to the village of Nave, which was perched on the side of a steep hill, and boasted a 'botanical walking track' which Boronia could not resist. So we climbed the path, up steep spillway of limestone shards, and obtained a terrific view of the valley and the village of Nave.
The drive to Audabiac was unexceptional. We checked into our new lodgings, the Domaine d'Audabiac, a quite luxurious Chambre d'Hote, located in one of the larger villas in the village; a distinct contrast to the minuscule accommodation we were comfortably ensconsed in previously.
