Paris - Tours

Took the train (my dicount card 50% off).
Went for a walk around Tours at night quite a nice 'old city'. Had really bad pizza at a cheap restaurant, booked a hire car over the internet and called home. Hotel 27euro for a twin room
Saturday 9th December
11am picked up car from Europecar - Toyota Yaris
stick to the right!
Headed straight out of town towards Chenonceau Chateau expensive at 9eu each but pretty impressive built over the river Cher.
Stopped in the town of Montrichard then on to the Chambord Chateau to watch the sunset (too late to go inside). Struggled a bit to find a hotel in Blois as it was dark, the ones near the train station expensive so drove round trying to follow signs that just dont work the same as at home. Seriously, if the sign is not at the intersecion, but a bit before, if you are supposed to go straight ahead the arrow points to the left (the sign's on the right hand side of the road), so sometimes we're just not sure if it means left or not! Stayed at Hotel Belany 37euro with 2 double beds.
