Water, water everywhere.  But not a drop to drink.

We climbed to the top of the largest dunes in Europe.  That being before Brexit of course as Mick said he was sure there were bigger ones in Cornwall. [see Mussels and Pizza].

Muppets.  Simples.

Pretty good as they go.  But hardly set in stone.  Ho ho.

No we didn’t donate the African Congress.  Went for a pizza instead.

We decided to head north to Arcachon instead of going to Lourdes.  En route usual coffee stops and wee breaks!

Arrived at the a chosen site “Le Coq Hardin”.  Mmmmm.

No beer on this table…

Sooty finally gets his tent up after twitting about.

Hardy biker and all pleased with himself after putting up his tent.  Which, I might add, is exactly the same as mine.  Copy cat.

The French know how to lay on a fish stall at the local Intermarche.  Unreal.  50 Euro later we had our food.  Still had to cook it but hey.

19 degrees today.  Yey.  We may stop another day.  Not sure yet.  Depends how much beer we drink I guess.  Seriously there’s lots to see round here so we are going to take a ride out tomorrow and then decide.  La’ers…

First campsite.  Camping Arette apparently.  Tonights concoction is chicken with some slurp of some kind.  One big bowl of mushed up veg.  Great practice for when we have no teeth.

The campsite was full of mod cons.  Well, cons anyway.

Full swing.  This is a picture of professionals at work.  Live and learn people, live and learn.

This is Taylux after a boiling shower.  I didn’t tell him what he looked like!  Lobster face.

Sooty waxing lyrical about something or other.  Nobody was listening by this time anyway.

Packing up and time to leave.  I was first ’cause I was up early of course.

The owner was nowhere in sight.  Some builders told us he had gone into hospital.  So we left a note saying we had stayed a night and my phone number.  Eh?  Why mine?  Oh well.  Showers were crap anyway.

Taylux reading about KTMs on the boat.  He’s wondering why he is driving a Triumph.

They make Bra’s don’t they, I told him.  Can’t say he was impressed.
