France & Spain October 2025 - The End

October 22nd Today was Reggie's trip to the vet for his worming pill and passport signed up. But first we had to get away from Veuzain sur Loire to head up towards Chartres and then Rouen. The choice was to go to Blois and then north or diagonally north-west to Vendôme and onto the N10. TomTom chose the Vendôme route. It was a little frustrating again as this section of the N10 chops and changes from single lane 80kph to the 90kph two lane "overtaking" sections that are so short it's still hard to overtake anything.
