We have had a few stops on our way onto the Vendee coastline. The weather has been good and we have had some good beach days – surfing and enjoying the sun.
We have arrived in Il de Oleron where we have spent the last 3 days. We spent the first 2 nights free camping but tonight we have decided luxury is needed and we are on a site with all the trimmings; shower, toilet, electric and at long last an INTERNET connection (although we are having to sit on a park bench in the dark 200 mts from the van with an umbrella, to get a signal – not looking dodgy at all!).
We always knew this place had loads of Jelly Fish – but this year they seem to be on steroids!! They’re everywhere – the picture is of a smaller one maybe dinner plate size but most are dustbin lids. Still the surf has been pretty good so we have been in amongst them quite a lot. The sight and touch is far worse than their sting.
Now that we have a fridge we are going to crack open a gift of Champagne from the wedding– we are on our honeymoon after all (we’ll still be saying that in 12 months!)
Hope everyone is well and happy – give us a message as to what you’re up.
