Day 4 – St-Benoit-des-Ondes

We don’t know where we are going…..

After I posted last night, we had an unfortunate sickness that hit Penelope…. Not sure why! Sick and campervans dont mix so we changed our plans, gave the kids some pasta and then cooked our moules and the headed for our beds. A few more throw ups and this morning I had a happier girl.
We packed up and headed in the direction of mont st Michele.. We took the coast road as it was promised to be picturesque and it didn’t disappoint….. We soon could see the mount in the distance and before long Caroline and I thought we were in a documentary! It was so beautiful and stereotypical French it deserved to be!

We passed where the Tour de France came last week and found the car park for the mount where we will head tomorrow!

We drive on looking for a campsite to spend the night and it took quite some driving to find a site as close to the sea as we’d become accustomed….. We found it but unfortunately as a storm hit and we ended up convinced we were going to be penned in so Planned for dinner out. It rained hard for a out an hour, I splashed out deciding that a pitch with electric was appropriate (we’ve been using solar so far) in case we felt damp and needed a heater. The kids played upstairs and then watched a film then we opened the door and it has stopped raining…. The sky was clear and we could explore. There is a disused water tower in the village that has been turned into a look out and so we went to spy freckle…. Then headed to dinner. We splashed out with a fruits de mare with crab for Caroline and I to share and prawns for Fraser with penny playing it safe with a burger. It was delicious…. Wonderful and tasted of the sea. The place we are staying is a huge mussel producer and we drove along the rd watching the boats with wheels. Tomorrow we are going to buy oysters before we leave! It’s really amazing!

We are now sitting with a “goon bag” of wine! It’s nice tho as there is a man with a guitar across the road from the campsite singing songs with a bad English accent.
