Day 27 – Noirmoutier

I woke up early… I think I was excited!  I went to the loo and then walked along the beach to make sure that the sea was still there.  The girls went and brought the bread and we all sat down for a proper french breakfast, and lots of coffee.

We got ready and cycled into town.  We had a good look around the beautiful shops and bought some stuff to braid the girls hair. some ice cream.  There was a tragic accident, where we thought Euan might need hospitalisation, but then we realised it was just a graze!

We headed along the cycle path to the salt flats and had a look at how they make salt, and then cycled on to the next town l’epine for a picnic lunch.

Back to camp and the inflation of the flotilla was started…. we headed to the beach with 2 dinghys, a body board, 3 lay bags and a load of oars and loads of life jackets.  There was one slight drama with fraser floating away and stew having to swim out to rescue him.

We got back and showered, read some books and chilled whist the children played in the park then we went out for dinner.

Moules all round for the adults and pizza for the children, whilst they played table football and pinball. 

With full tummies, we headed back, put the children to bed and then lasted about 10 minutes before we hit the sack too!
