Today we awoke to the sound of rain on the tents. Good excuse for a rest day we thought. Also staying on this site in Benon is a lovely couple. Their names are Lee and Jeanette and they anne from the Cambridge area. They have their caravan on site and they offered to drive us a few miles down the road to get supplies. John had not been in the shop more than a few minutes when he found a lot of cycle clothing at cheap prices. Needless to say he made a few purchases on top of the supplies we needed. This evening Lee and Jeanette allowed us to use their oven to cook some pizza and we spent a very pleasant evening in their caravan awning putting the world to rights. Lee and Jeanette were wonderful hosts and we wont forget their hospitality. This mornings rain did pass and the afternoon was warm and sunny. Hopefully it will be nice tomorrow morning when we must hit the road again. The photo today shows John showing off one of his cycle clothing bargains.
