We woke up early…. somewhere between the excitement of my new coffee maker and the bottom noises from the toilets. I headed over to the on site shop for bread and pastries, and had my coffee…. mmmmm.

After breakfast I put the new bells on the bikes we had bought yesterday, (I “improved” mine with some nail varnish, unfortunately it took the tinkle sound out of it and made it sound like a frog!), and the children went for a swim with Stew.

We headed out on our bikes headed for Bretagnolles sur mare, a small town about 8km away.  It was along a really cool bike track, through woods and along behind beaches.  It was a bit like being on an off road track.  The beach was really different along the coast, more rocket, penny was sure it was where the mermaids would come to sing.

We stopped for an ice cream, and an Orangina, before deciding it wasn’t where we wanted to have our lunch, and we headed back in the direction of the campsite, stopped in for a few bottom issues with the children.

We made it eventually to the town (after penny getting stuck in the “water closet”) and had the most delicious lunch of seafood and deserts.

Back at camp we waited for the arrival of the hargraves…. we put their tent up and had a good chat….. and then security came and told us off at about midnight, and then again about 12:30.
