Day 10 Aups to Roquebrune sur Argens

Great start to the day with a six mile descent south to Salernes, then a bit of a climb before another good descent to Lorgues where there was a huge market in full swing.  This necessitated the purchase  of another pair of pantaloons ( that's troosers Douglas) for Sandra to pack into her single wardrobe, I mean pannier


Onwards through Taradeau for lunch of a huge sandwich consumed in the shade of the old village wash house.

We then did quite well following the backroads and vineyards through Les Arcs to Le Muy where we eventually, and probably inevatabely got lost and ended up n the really busy DN7 for about 5 miles. However we have ended up at a really good campsite at Roquebrune sur Argens which looks like it has a great wee restaurant overlooking the river which we will try out shortly.

It has been really hot again today, over 30 degrees, and a good bit more humid than last week.  We have done about 37 miles today and although it was predominantly downhill, we still seem to have managed 1800 ft of climbing.http://www.strava.com/routes/924723
  For the last couple of days there have been huge thunderclouds building up all around us in the afternoons with plenty of claps of thunder but so far we've avoided any rain. Let's hope that continues!
