Better weather today in Carnac



We slept a little longer than normal as rather tired from the travel and not sufficient sleep on the ferry mostly due to the creaking and vibrations which was not good and I have reported this to Brittany ferries, not sure what they can do but this ship is over 30 years old and needs replacing.

Anyway we had our breakfast and then noticed the family was already up and  active. We stayed around the accommodation today and Joanne and Tim went for a walk around the town and did some small shopping. For lunch somehow we all crowded around the table after the kids had their lunch and the adults enjoyed hot dogs in French baguette whilst I could not risk this and so had baguette and cheese. In the afternoon we took a walk down to the town which is very nice and what with the weather improving it was pleasant time, We bought some vegetables from a local shop and then discovered it was rather expensive and headed back to the Super U supermarket to finish the rest of the shopping whilst the editor returned for a quick zizz. The kids had been that morning in the Eurocamp Children's Club which they sort of enjoyed being the first time they have played with other children they did not know but it was a new experience for them all. The afternoon session had been cancelled as the current children were going to put on a show in the centre of the site which we went watched and they all seemed to have good time with the staff working hard to get them all doing the same thing.

I also had to go and complain about the state of the BBQ allocated to us it was filthy. And when it says you have to clean up after yourself in the mobile home and its left like this I don't think I should be the one to clean it so eventually they sent  someone over to clean it but missed out on the other BBQ’s which are in a similar estate. I think Eurocamp are having staffing problems and perhaps getting to big.

For dinner we all got together and had spaghetti bolognaise which was nice and then let the kids play for a while, and it was fun to watch Archie eating a banana and also melon which he enjoys however it did leave the floor and the high chair in a bit of a mess, but he really enjoyed it. Michael then gave Archie a bath which was nice to see and then off to bed they went .

For the rest of the evening Jennifer did some reading, whilst  I did the Blog and uploaded some photos.

The weather outlook for tomorrow has changed and it will be a 20 C temp with mixture of sun and clouds it would appear, lets hope that is correct. Tomorrow Noel’s sister and husband who live not to far away will come to visit, they will stay in Hotel overnight and so it will be nice to catch up.
