John is unwell. During the night Angela administered him paracetamol, vapour rub, and one of her 'Jakemans' cough sweets. The medication did the trick and he settled. So a late start to this morning, and cycling today abandoned. Instead we took the short walk into town to buy a few grocery items, and use the free wi-fi at the tourist office. The fine warm weather had brought out locals and tourists alike and the narrow streets were busy.
As was the flea market. Before setting off, we noticed the pitch we'd been allocated on the campsite just down from the aire had been vacated, so asking at reception, we were able to site marge earlier than the 2 pm arrival time which was great.
The site is four star, with of course toilets and showers, wi-fi and the luxury of a washing machine. All for seventeen pounds a night. The weather warm, the breeze brisk, we loaded up the washer. To hell with the six euro cost, it was worth it not to have to hand wash. Marge is located right by the reception, near to the entrance. So everyone passing in and out of the site has the pleasure of seeing her. And much admired she is. We can see you all pretending not to look as you shuffle pass.
Sausages and roast vegetables cooked outside finished the day of nicely. The weather this evening has turned, and once again rain falls steadily. The forecast for the next two days is good, so hopefully tomorrow we'll cycle out along one of the many cycle routes on the island.
