2nd August (giving up on day count) La reole to Mas D'Agenis 29km

Dave up early doing a painting of the very picturesque town from the river. Once finished got his paintings together and headed off to the little gallery (pretty much the first of it's type we have found) in the village. A lovely chap running it and with my limited French explained the situation, he looked at the paintings and liked them, especially the beach scenes, however when it came to whether he could purchase any, unfortunately it was a "Non". After writing down why I realised he was about to retire and couldn't buy more stock. Feedback promising and he asked us where we were heading. I said some places and he added Agen to the mix, which is on the canal, so may be a possibility(though wasn't on the itinerary)

We then headed off down the Canal geronne. Excellent voires verts, paved all the way and lovely shade. Getting hot again and basically very tired from yesterdays exploits, add to that hunger as totally ill prepared and we didn't get as far as planned. Took a detour to Mas D'Agenis and felt quite beguiled by its mediaeval charm, and the campsite for 5 euros, so decided to stop. Quick shop and we have now stooped to even lower depths as we have red wine in a plastic bottle!!!! Can be reused for water ha ha.
