Since the storm the weather in this part of France has been a bit mixed or variable as they say on TV. We had another easy day of not doing much except talk to the neighbours. The Camp Site is still quite empty with mostly Brits and Cloggies (Dutch) and there is plenty of room here as the individual sites are quite large. Some sites we have been to in the past are quite small where you have difficulty parking your car but not here as could park forty foot container with ease.
As some people who read this may know we are intending to buy a caravan next year to make it easier for our future European travels. Whilst waiting for the ferry in the Dover Harbour we were approached by a guy who wanted to know what we thought of our Toyota Land Cruiser as they were thinking of changing their Toyota Amazon which drinks diesel like no tomorrow, his words not mine. We then got around to talking about caravans and we mentioned that we had in mind the Bailey Louisiana which is a double axle model and he said that he was going to do the same but many sights in France do restrict entrance to such vans.
It would appear that by law, the French camp sites cannot stop ‘The Travellers’ who wish to stay the night and pay and so the only way to restrict them is not to allow twin axle models which all travellers seem to have. Oh we thought as this would affect us.
On this site we have a British couple with a twin axle van who we discussed this with and he said that over the past year they have only had one problem in this direction!! We will think more about this before we purchase our van.
The England game last night was Ok in the first half but I think the team lost the plot in the second half and Mr Rooney was very pissed off at being taken off!!.Anyway, we will watch the Holland versus Argentina game, this should be good we hope
