We think we are about 35 to 40 miles behind schedule. Oh well we will make it up somewhere. My cycling legs only kicked in at 15 miles today. Takes a while to warm up.
A camping pitch was harder to find tonight. I guess Brittany isn't as attractive as the Vendee - sun, sea and beaches probably the main reason. We are in a municipal campsite tonight. It's more expensive than our 'posh camp last eve. Talking about last night, the screaming children on the trampoline only stopped at 11. I guess that's when the adults stopped their Bingo night.
I had the best Hamburger and chips last night ever! No real expectations but whoa when it arrived it was a bacon and cheese burger with homestyle patty and the best chips. Soft inside - crunchy outside. Absolutely fabulous.
I sleep with earplugs and even I could hear the screams from the trampoline.
Today was a fabulous cycling day. It started misty and before we knew it we had 30 miles done. We marked a place to sleep but decided to ride on when we got there. We had a brief spell when we were looking for a B&B at the local French Tourism office but everywhere were booked up so the search for another campsite continued.
Dinner was pot noodle, Caesar salad and a Sub loaded with everything. Yum.
We should hopefully see La Rochelle tomorrow. May we have the wind in our backs.
