The day here is getting hotter but still cold at night.We stop at the Auchan supermarket to replenish our food stuffs and that slow us down when on the climb.We enter the scenic forest reserch land of Morvan which provided some shade from the scorching sun.Avallon is the only big town we passed.Ivan saw a camping spot with a beautiful lake when arrived in Lormes,time already 3pm,all agreed to end the day to the paid campsite with facilities of hot shower,washing,power point and a nice camping ground for 6.1euro per pax.The owner told us,we are the 1st asian to visit and camp here,but he did not gives us a discount despite of the sweet talking.
