We've stayed overnight at Chateau in Blaye three times now, always without incident. Sadly this time, we'd chosen the wrong spot. Behind the hedge at the rear of Marge two french couples fuelled by whisky did not shut up until well after eleven. Then at six this morning, they started up again. As it was so warm yesterday evening, John decided we should sleep just under the quilt cover, have the fan running, and the window covers open. Angela was freezing! So not a good night for her. So today we are tired. The heat is draining. We want to be crossing the border into Spain on Sunday, so we pushed on down the coast.
Our planned stop didn't suit us, so we moved on, passing through pretty villages with beautiful churches.
John found us a spot on Park4Night amongst the pine trees in the Landes region, accessible supposedly by a 4x4's. That said, it is us and a sprinter van here tonight. Nice couple, wanted to know if we had a dog. No. We thought they must have a cat. No, a rather large, but quiet dog. Tonight we are hoping for a peaceful night's sleep. We may be woken by the wild boar, as there is evidence of them snuffling around in the area, so we've made sure to bring our rubbish bag inside. Weary from the heat, travelling and a disturbed night, we took a short walk out to the nearby Fontaine St-Jean.
Tomorrow we head to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. You might remember we were heading here, via the Pyrenees two years ago, when Marge had a wobble. This time, we are confident all will be well. The temperature is going to be well into the nineties tomorrow, so we plant to set off as early as possible, especially as it's Sunday and the supermarkets closed at lunchtime. We need to stock up on French goodies before crossing into Spain.
