Nice sunny morning spent reading in the sun on the veranda.
After lunch even though it was sunny we still went for a drive, this time to Royan, again a place we had made a quick visit to last year. I though we would park where we did last year but by taking a wrong turn (or two), I missed that car park and ended up parked just above the ferry terminal.
We walked down the steps to a large marina and wandered through to the far end. There we considered continuing along the beach but instead turned left towards the shops.
Because it was later than usual for our walk most of the shops were just reopening, although we didn't actually look in many. I did however get a couple more new beers, and a couple to drink now. We had them sat on the edge of the beach, near us farther down the beach we noticed what looked like the local drunks, doing the same as us but with strong lagers. One of tham could hardly walk, we drank up and moved on.
We used the public toilets in the marina before setting of for a drive along the coast. We stopped off at a lovely little cove we had been to last year, Plage le Chay, for a walk. There are quite a few of these coves along the coast here. We sat for a while but there was a cool breeze, so we carried on driving along the coast to La Palmyre and then inland to Les Mathes.
We though we would have a beer outside the Tabac in Les Mathes but when we got there the sun was not shining on it, it was in the shade. We didn't bother stopping and drove back to the site.
Day Twelve or Day Fourteen
