We felt that we deserved a three day stop, as we have plenty of time on our hands and Valence is a nice city - if a bit of a distance to the centre. Skip and Crew had another go at bleeding the aircon system - neither of us can believe how much water is coming out. A few days ago we must have shifted about 120 litres and now another 60 litres.......where does it all come from? We definitely need an aircon specialist as it looks like a fairly severe blockage somewhere! For the moment, since it's so hot, we can only solve the problem short term. Skip and Henk cycled to one of the big supermarkets for supplies and came back with all sorts of goodies! Henk has a large crate which can be fixed to his electric bike which takes a lot of beer and wine!! Nevertheless, he did a second trip! It's fair to say that Henk is quite a picky eater so we have eaten lots of bread and cheese for our lunches - he is a cheeseaholic! So yesterday we added a tin of corned beef to our repertoire and.......surprise, surprise....he liked it. Bolstered by our success, we introduced a tin of red salmon to our menu - he liked that too!! Steep learning curve! We had a cold collation in the evening which was enough, given the heat! The usual wine and chat and not too late to bed again!
