Wonderful weather

I generally pride myself on travel planning, but I have not been good with the weather so far. Late spring in the south is supposed to be pleasant, but today has been cold, wet and miserable. The week before we arrived in France was pretty warm, and will be again next week when we leave. Today in Rocamadour hit a max of 9, with driving rain at times. We attempted a climb up the steps as the pilgrims did, but found it beyond reason. Those with a little more religion tend to not care about reason, and so there were bedraggled, faithful types going much further than us.
The drive here was more difficult than expected as the satnav did its usual deed and sent us on a slower more dangerous route. Narrow roads, lots of trucks and a radar trap added to the rain for a less than enjoyable journey. Stopped in the lovely town of Martel along the way, and it looked to be a place to revisit. Rocamadour is quite spectacular in its setting, but crowded with tourists and shops. Like Mont St Michel, it is best seen after dark when the crowds depart. Our hotel Beau Site is right in the centre with a view up to chateau from our bedroom window. The meal in the hotel restaurant was first class tonight and the only dampener (no pun) was the continuous rain that stopped a walk through the town under lights - something I really was looking forward to.
