Ile de Re, France

Camping = Lazy. Today started off as another dull day which meant cards and reading in the tent after our croissant breakfast.

Mid-afternoon saw the sun come out and once again we headed to the beach. Today was not as nice as Sunday. It was windier and colder, and not as many people were around when we arrived, but as the tide came in, so did the people.

We left the beach and had an afternoon sleep before we cooked another pasta dish with our little gas stove.

At eight pm we went and booked some Eurobus legs and accommodation before going to the small café next to the camping ground. Here we had a couple of beers and watched the Coup de Monde semi-final (I’m so French) between France and Croatia. The way the locals went on it was as if they had actually won the Cup already. I think they’re in for a rude shock on Sunday against Brazil.

While the locals celebrated, the camping lifestyle we have been leading left us exhausted, so we went to bed. This it turns out, may have been a good thing, as the camping ground gates were closed and locked for the night.
