Ondres Plage

Just a short message from us today. Two messages from home, one from a tenant intending to start personal bankruptcy and wondering if we are okay with it, and a second regarding ‘a bit of a water problem’ at our own house has distracted us a bit, but all good for now.

As we travelled today, we both remembered where we were last Monday afternoon, but not with too much sadness, after all Marge is with us, I know she would not have liked this hot weather!

A late start this morning, after topping up our fresh water tank. The water is not very often free, so we had to take advantage. 

John, trekking back and forth to the tap with our 5 litre container, must have brought pity upon us, as a fellow French motorhome owner helped us fill up with a large bucket of water he had left over from his own filling.

We have been travelling south on some faster roads today, so stopped at a service area to make our lunch. Here we were approached by a fellow Englishman who asked of we had a map. It seems his fellow passenger had a little trouble with his sat nav, which was causing heated exchanges in their car. After checking our map they set off, happy or not we don’t know!

Our destination on the coast proved to be a paid aire at 12 euros, so we set of further down the coast and our now north of Biarritz at Ondres Plage, cost 8 euros, supposed to include free electricity, but of course the French got here first and are hogging it all!

Due to the events of the day, sorry there are not many photos. 

The beach bar we looked into then went back for a glass of not too bad Spanish plonk in the van!

Finally for all the fans of French free libraries here is a really different one on the beach, it even had a book in English for Angela!

Tomorrow we will cross the border into Northern Spain, exciting times to exploring a new area.
