After the sun comes the rain!

A rainy day was forecast for our trip to Bort les Orgues, the site of a huge dam on the Dordogne and some cliffs that look like organ pipes. We packed all the contents of our panniers in bin liners, put on our lightweight rain jackets for the first time and headed up the long hill out of Meymac. It didn't take long for the rain to start, but in some ways it made the cycling easier when compared with the hot days. We soon warmed up and were in Bort les Orgues by midday.




Our cycling shorts had dried by this time but our socks and shoes are still wet as I write this blog at 8 o'clock in the evening. Earlier this afternoon we walked around the old part of town and were lucky to hear the organist practicing when we entered the church. Most of the churches in these parts have amazing art and other relics that are well worth seeing. This one had modern stained glass windows, some in an abstract style and others more pictorial.
