Revel 13 September 2008

Drove to REVEL markets – they were crowded. We bought pain (bread – pronounced “pun”), tomatoes and fruit for our picnic at the Lac du St Ferreoil where we were heading for lunch.

Revel seems like a biggish town. It’s an odd day. Looks like wanting to rain and quite chilly, then the sun peeks out and you need to take your jumper off. We walked the circumference of the Lac which took about one hour. We needed to work up an appetite for lunch. We brought swimming things but it’s too cold for swimming. I think it was about 12 degrees which isn’t swimming weather.

Samuel found a little yabby which he was thrilled about. Andrew brought the kids’ nets to play with and catch fish in the river.

The next place we move to needs to have at least park and a river if possible so we’ve got something else for the kids to do when we’re not travelling (besides watch tv).

It started raining as we were finishing our picnic so we quickly packed up and raced off to the car. The other people picnicking around us pulled their hoodies up over their heads, opened their umbrellas and just kept eating. It was quite comical. After a couple of minutes it stopped raining so we got out of the car again.

It's beautiful country around Revel and Saissac. We’ve had a couple of drives up here now. It’s heavily forested and lush tropical greenery similar to the country around Mt Tamborine.
