This blooming rain is not great

We decided that eating out would be nice thing to do today as we are due to pack up and leave tomorrow morning by and we tried to book the place we had been at a couple of days ago only it was closed on Wednesday however we located another Italian Pizza restaurant nearer to town and booked that instead.

Michael and Becky and family went off to the local market for a while and then looked at joining the Petit Train and purchased tickets that they would use later in the day. Joanne and Tim did their own thing that morning and hen we all walked down to the restaurant at around 1300 and all met up. 



As usual the grandchildren all ate well but the Pizza’s for the kids were rather large and so we had a box to bring back home. It was then decided that they would all go on the Petit Train and so back to the Tourist office to purchase some more tickets before heading back to the departure where there were so many people waiting for the Petit train it looked hopeless. When discussing with the guy controlling the train he said they were selling more tickets than the rain could handle for many hours to come and he had told the office to stop selling tickets but they did not. So deciding this was a no go they went back to the Tourist Office to get their money back only to discover this was not possible in that in French it says non refundable but the English translation does not. Not only that if purchased for one day it cannot be used the next in other words non transferrable.

So very upset and disappointed they all returned to camp and Jennifer visited Site office and they really tried to assist but to no avail and £ 40 wasted. Noel when he get home will write to the Mayor of Carnac and lodge a strong complaint.

So the afternoon the rain had eased and so we packed our car as far as possible whilst the kids went off to the pool and later on to visit the Disco that was taking place which they all enjoyed very much but it was a late night for the grandchildren. One the kids were in bed then Joanne and Tim, Michael and Becky started the packing so as to be able to leave by tomorrow morning.

W e had a quiet evening with Jennifer reading and Noel listing to a podcast on the case against Kevin Spacey trial in New York where he had been accused of sexually assaulting a 14 year old boy. More info on this to follow.
