Rochefort, Charente-Maritime

We forgot to mention that when we stayed the night at Mimizan, we did something in Margery for the first time. Curb those thoughts please. As we were in a car park near the town we didn't put the pop top up, but slept downstairs. A little tight, but doable. And at the Bordeaux campsite this morning, Angela did something for a second time on this trip. Used a hairdryer. Honestly, the little things really do make a difference. We packed up quickly this morning, happy we'd spent time in Bordeaux. As always it had been wonderful. Our next stop Rochefort. We are now slowly making our way up towards Cherbourg, and from now on will probably stay at places we've visited many times before.


Rochefort is an interesting town, it's Transporter bridge easily visible as you approach the town. Yet another night on a campsite. Cost 13 euros. Bargain. It's a shame English campsites can't be more affordable. The Viva Espana food truck turned up in the evening, but it's selection was so vastly overpriced we did our own catering as usual. 



Keen to keep our step count at a minimum of 20,000 a day we walked around the town.







Tomorrow we will head to La Rochelle and cross the bridge to the Ile de Re. We just love it there.


What a treat to see a Bee Orchid growing on the verge when we walked to the supermarket.
