June 30, Vichy


Gouffre de Padirac was well worth it. After packing up in the morning we went to the caves and took a tour. At first you ride down an elevator into this huge hole in the ground. At the bottom you walk a ways through the caves until there is a boat landing. From there you ride in a boat over an underground river with a guide explaining everything (in French). At the end there is another walk and then back to the boats for the return. It´s sort of Dysneylandyish, you almost expect to see rails under the boat. But, it was very beautiful and interesting both for us and the kids.


We drove on through the day, making our way towards Vichy. Everyone was tired and it took awhile to find a campground. Eventually we found on, right on the side of the river and so full of mosquitos. This is to be our last night together, as Monica is going to return to Barcelona tomorrow.
