On the Road Again!

Well into week two now. We have been saying we must go to lunch for moules frites. So today we decided it would be today. A different way into town today. Past the Gare to take in the look church.  It's huge.  The way from there, and following the signs to the tourist office, took us right to the "border" with neighbouring Bernières sur Mer.  We came out a few hundred yards up from the memorial we visited yesterday. Nearby is the Pub le Crabe Vert. We saw people eating there yesterday.  Moules Marinières. Before... After... We walked slowly back to the site. The washing was almost dry.  We had a "lazy" afternoon after that. Later we met a couple of fellow Instagrammers, Paul & Gills Adventures. Nice to meet them.  After moules we decided we didn't need a cooked dinner, so we had a cheese and tomato baguette. ...

We have been looking at alternatives to using the gas hob when we are away.  We already have an air fryer but it's no use when you want to use saucepans or even a frying pan.  So we looked around, took some advice and decided on the Vango Sizzle Induction Hob. We have bought the single hob version as it packs small enough to carry in the van. It's designed for camping and has an 800w power limit.  It will work very well with our 2000w inverter and not stress or overload it.

When we leave here we have two days to get to the next campsite at Quiberon.  The initial plan in my head was one night at Mont St Michel, either at the official car parking for the buses to the Mont, or at the Camping-Car Park aire in Beauvoir. The cost of the parking seemed a bit pricey. There are no services at all and its €25 a night. The CCP aire is a little cheaper at €18 with all the services including EHU, but a 5kms walk to the Mont. We  have been before so then maybe we will give it a miss this time and do the CCP. Where after that? I have pencilled in  Josselin  in Brittany. There's a Camping-Car Park aire there and a huge castle.

Day 7 Is it really the end of a week already.  Another day of not doing much.  We did go to the laundry and do some washing. The rest of the day was spent moving the whirlygig dryer around the pitch and the vacant one begind to "find the sun". The pitches are very shaded with many mature trees. For dinner we decided on a single pizza 🍕 and loaded frites instead of cooking.  Very nice as well. As usual we read and then in the evening watched some YouTube and a programe on iPlayer about a Jamaican born Royal Military Police officer becoming a copper in Aberdeen. It looked grey and granitey as I remembered from visits in the 70's.... Day 8 Today it started sunny. It stayed mostly sunny. With no rain.... After emptying the cassette again, we set off for the town and beach.  I took the Canon with me in it's case. Perhaps, I s...
