After a great meal and night in the hotel at Duras (the same chef as 11 years ago) the following morning we headed to the local bike shop and purchased a new front basket for Carla. The other one had been bashed about a bit with falls. This new attachment should prevent further damage. It was a delight to set off from Duras as we did not have the millions of black flying ants which yesterday seemed like a rainstorm heading straight our way (not pleasant). En route we stopped for a glass of lemonade in a quaint little village (see photo of town hall). We reached Tonniens by lunch time and picnicked by the river before visiting the tourist information which,thankfully,on a saturday was open and just managed to get accommodation at the last chambre d'hote or hotel in the area. In the afternoon we went to the local town fete which gave us some ideas for future dancing (see photo)! We then crossed the river Garonne (another milestone). Spent night in lovely large country house and were again driven to and from the local restaurant situated at bank of Canal de Midi. Wonderful meal with wine - 30 euros for two of us. There are still a few bargains to be had in France!
