On the Road Again!

Our last day at Flower Camping Bois d'Amour in Quiberon.  Apart from the day we got here the weather  has been pretty decent.  Today after we had tidied up after breakfast we had another walk into town. We were determined to get the wedding anniversary dinner or lunch we missed yesterday.  After a coffee we saw the Biscuiterie de Quiberon.  We wanted to get something for our neighbour who sorts our mail out whilst we are away. We bought kouign amann for us. It's a Breton tart. We had some last week but wanted more. It was a little pricey but it's quite a lump. From there we went around to the restaurant from yesterday. La Corsaire. We chose the €26 "menu express" with the entrée and plat option. We both had fish soup and then diverged. Claire had the fish that came as scallops and masked potato.  I chose the meat ...

I bought this last year to carry in the van. It's only got a small capacity muck but with the van it's usually dust rather than bulky crap. Handheld Vacuum Cordless,Car... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FKMSWTJN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Wedding Anniversary Day. We had hoped to get out and have lunch as it's our special day.   Neither of us were feeling too great and for lunch we had soup! Cooked by me.  I won't bore you with the recipe as I simply had to snip the corner off the tetrapak and pour it into the saucepan.   A little later we set off to walk into Quiberon by the "grand plage". It wasn't as far as it looked on the map the campsite reception gave us. We looked for somewhere for a coffee and we found one where we could watch the Belle Île ferry coming in and then out again. We found Le Corsaire and had a pleasant half hour. Then the walk back. Chef Paul used his almost Michelin 🌟 skills to open a ring-pull can of lentils and meat. Using the same saucepan (washed of course) another meal was quickly heated up. Tomorrow? Hopefull...

We didn't leave the aire at Josselin until around 11am. We needed to do the waste and rubbish bins and were in a three van queue. The front van was usable to move as there were two vans trying to get in. The first was having a problem with the barrier. Once away the TomTom Camper Max had another routing problem, taking us back into the village and then trying to loop around the river towpath. We had to wing it and followed the road signs to the N24. Finally, it got with the program and we headed towards the motorhome dealers as planned.   The dealers was on a newish looking business park. It did seem that prices of new motorhomes and vans seem lower than at home.  The Elsan blue "teabags" weren't though. A tub of them was €24. We usually use the Thetford branded ones. These are so much easier to use than large bottles of liquid blue or green. We have tried Solbio and found it didn't mask the smells emanating...

Sunday 4th October After a week in one place we are back to touring for a few days. The first stop was the Intermarché at Bernières sur Mer and then on the road to Caen and the A84 toll free motorway westwards.  The destination was the Camping-Car Park aire at Beauvoir. We have been before and it's huge with 180 pitches. We arrived around 3pm and found a space. They aren't that well marked out!!! Then I found the 10m EHU cable wasn't long enough. I moved a little. No better! As Claire chatted to the couple from Cornwall, and whose names we forget, I moved spaces to the otherside of the wooden fence. The cable fitted perfectly.  Once settled we took a walk towards Mont Saint Michel.  Its 5kms away. We managed 2kms... it was...

Life flashes past when you are away doing nothing. Today, apart from a walk to the Carrefour we have done very little. We bought some very nice chocolate tarts. Along with eggs. A bit of reading. A light lunch of scrambled egg on toast. Plenty of reading and the day got away from us. As we are leaving tomorrow we decided to pack away all the outside "camping" stuff. In the morning we'll just have to disconnect the EHU and pack away the Milencos. From the inside looking outside.
