The Flotte, Ile de Re, Charente-Maritime. (Day 5)

What have we done today? Well not much. Shopping, a walk down to the seafront where we ate lunch and talked a while with a couple from Macclesfield.


We talked for so long, that they realised their parking time was nearly up. Tomorrow they will drive, towing a caravan to San Sebastian. A journey of at least four and a half hours on a fast dangerous road. We should know. We drove up from the other direction a month ago. We certainly don't envy them, and wish them a safe journey. Today was hot, but sitting down by the beach is more pleasant because of the sea breeze. 


The afternoon passed quickly, and before returning to Margery we stopped in town for Angela to have a very nice ice-cream. Very nice equals high calorie. She doesn't care. Back at the campsite all change. Some of our neighbours have departed. We can't say we're sorry about one of them leaving. As the couple from Macclesfield commented. There's a different type of English person on the Ile de Re. They might get a shock at San Sebastian!



The locals gathering food!
