We were up at six thirty this morning but didn't leave until nine fifteen. Pain chocolates and fresh coffee take time to enjoy. Tomorrow though, no hanging about, we need to get our miles in early before the heat rises. Angela still flagging, was determined to up her game, and by this afternoon cycled all the way up a hill.
She felt at last her health was turning a corner. Today's lunchtime stop at a little town on the coast we've lunched at before. As last time we watched the youngsters take their sailing lessons. Some tiny tots from a nursery were also on the beach. All sun hats and sandals, except for one little boy who sported a brand new pair of bright yellow wellies! His parents obviously didn't get the email! Still warm, but with a cooling sea breeze we cycled further spotting a couple we'd met on the train to Nantes. They had begun their cycle up from La Rochelle on Monday. They were coincidentally from Oswestry and had had their bikes serviced at Mule Bikes the same bike shop John had bought the bike he was riding from. Pedalling like mad, we realised we'd got between campsites so cycled through the Marais with the wind blowing across us making it hard going.
Tonight we are at the municipal campsite at De Saint Gervais. Cost 11 euros 24 cents. Or 30 cents as we didn't have the odd 4. It's our cheapest overnight so far, but as we head back towards the coast, direction La Rochelle we expect costs to rise.
