Taussat

Very warm here last night, so took a walk out to the beach and saw the end of a lovely sunset.

In a large house across the road a party was taking place, we think it may have been a wedding reception. It made us smile, that the same cheesy disco music was playing that we hear from the village hall behind our house. But the party went on to 4pm I’m told..didn’t stop some of us sleeping! The large beachfront houses, and the shallow large expanse of water of The Bay of Arcachon is similar to Sandbanks and Poole Harbour.

Whilst we were sat reading last night, a praying mantis flew into our van, O.K. if you like that kind of visitor!

Woke to a thunderstorm this morning, but by late morning the weather was fine, so we took a walk into the nearby town to buy our first baguette of the holiday..along with a large chocolate brownie, to take cycling with us as a well earned treat!

After lunch, thinking it would be cooler, even though it wasn’t, we cycled to a town which was holding a fete for leisure activities/clubs.

The local senior citizens dance group did their rendition of Strictly come Dancing, if be it in a slow pace.

There were also some classic cars at the fete. An interesting British Leyland campervan, along with some Citroen kit cars based on the 2CV.

We can’t believe  that it will be Monday tomorrow, and nearly a week since we left home. We will have to decide before we leave here whether to head into Northern Spain or over to the east coast to the Costa Brava where we went last September.
