June 25: St Georges to St Michael

A gentle walk through town for one and all then we head for the nearby city of Angers. Kay and Malcolm are so impressed with our onboard travel guides ... (funnily enough named James and Daniel just like our nephews/cousins) they decide they would like to shop for their own sat nav system. Also, we are still looking for a SIM card that will give us good internet coverage while we are on the road. At the moment we are able to get by on solar power and gas to give us everything we need in our van. The main reason we have to pay for camping ground facilities is to source wifi. We are otherwise pretty self contained.
We find a magic park for the vans right by the Maine river that runs through town. We take our picnic overlooking the city castle then discover a modern building which turns out to be the regional contemporary dance school. The building has a public lift up to the terrace which has a great outlook aver the river and castle.
It is thirty degrees but we walk into town and check out a few shops before coming to the tourist information centre. We load up on info about the region and head off along the river until we find a nice camping ground near Samur. We are unsuccessful in our mission to find a SIM card so we opt for a real camping ground where we can get wifi to skype NZ for Andrea's birthday.
It's a great spot and the sunset over the river is pretty neat.
