Taussant

This morning Marge was shrouded in a thin film of fog which was soon burnt away by the warmth of the early morning sun.

Our very friendly French neighbour left just after nine bidding us au revoir and good morning. We responded with bonne route.

Today Marge, we're only travelling a short way. We should arrive at the Bassin d' Arcachon around one o' clock. The Atlantic coast beckoning, Marge performed well. She'd returned to her old self. We drove through the Landes. An area covered by immense pine forest. Pine trees can be lovely, green and fragrant, but after miles and miles of them they become a little tedious. At least it's a nice flat road Marge. At last! The aire we were heading for is right on the Atlantic coast and very popular. Upon our arrival there were two free spaces. We positioned Marge next to the other English van there. He the moved. Charming. It's alright Marge, he wants to park more in the sun, anyway we would rather have his space it has a nice green area next to it. The forecast for the Easter weekend is excellent. This afternoon's temperature was 22c, and this was the cooler day of the weekend.

So without delay it was shorts on and down to the beach, then a walk out to check out the local area. We have stayed at this aire four times now. It is situated right on the Velodyssey cycle route which we cycled when John was sixty. So tomorrow we will take to our bikes and once again cycle a section of it. You Marge can recuperate. 

This evening a beautiful sunset, as they always are here. The evening warm, we can sit with our side door open enjoying the view of the beach, little harbour and greenway. We are glad we made time to return to the village of Taussant.
