You've guessed it. The package hasn't arrived yet. So we've decided to book onto the campsite now until Monday in the hope by then the gas struts arrive. We now consider ourselves to be on an extended city break! Today we once again took the bus and tram down to the waterfront and visited the old docklands.
Now home to the smart Cite du Vin wine museum and a trendy food hall. the thunderstorm forecast for one o' clock didn't materialise, so we walked back along the waterfront, stopping for coffee and cake. This end of the city is where the smart shops are. One in particular caught our eye. An outdoor shop. It's range of stock was fabulous. Why can't we have shops like this in England? By late afternoon, back at the tram stop everyone seemed to be on the move. People leaving, and people arriving, all in a hurry. The ride back was particularly uncomfortable. We were able to secure seats opposite a Romanian couple with a very young child who liked to scream. Hearing aids turned off was John's answer to the annoying child. As we slowly made our way out of the city centre the mother whipped out a breast. Well, we'd never seen the like. This is a very large wine region and we'd doubt they'd ever need a cork that size! John, his face the colour of rose felt uneasy, so as soon as the opportunity arose we moved seats. All change at the campsite tonight, still the Germans dominate. But the English cycling couple we'd met at Rochefort, and again last Saturday are here. So we were able to catch up. As yet still no rain, which is great. Somehow though, we have a feeling we may be woken in the night by a storm.
