Relais du Bois Saint Georges Saintes

... the beach for a sunburn! For the first 2 months of traveling, Brian asked daily to go and sit on a beach and roast. Finally his waiting is over!

Spent the afternoon doing laundry (strange, in France they won’t supply you with toilet paper in the bathroom, but they’ll give you soap with your laundry - LOL). Also explored what we could see of the Cliffside ...

Bells, bells, and more bells. Awoke at 7am to 7 chimes on the large town bell (not that it stopped all night), but it repeated the time 3x over the next few minutes - just in case you missed the first. Then, in case you weren’t awake yet, it started an all out peel which lasted about 2 minutes. Afterwards, it continued the normal ¼, ½, and ¾ chimes as usual. However, 8 o’clock did not bring the same eye-opening sounds, and neither did 9...I ...

Lastly, I must make note of the very creative and attractive signs that can be found along France's major highways announcing/advertising cities in the area. The two-tone earth-colored signs included the name of the city/area as well as a tasteful depiction of a building, symbol, plant, historical event or the like for which the city is known. The uniform look these large, billboard-sized signs presented was classy and the the information they offered was ...

... the border. They need to get the Latvians and Lithuanians to do the job. Very good roads there. And of course they get better and better the further we get into Europe. Why Latvia? I hear you say. Well as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Never having been a good footy player, I was not very well qualified to join the scrum at the Belarus Embassy, so after getting well and truly rucked off the ball, I abandoned the attempt at getting Transit Visas and we went ...

This was
another disaster journey really. We started late after an extended chat with a couple from Ireland and set off under the command of TomTom taking a left out of the car park to our destination 40km away.
After two hundred metres TomTom found its feet and continued its reboot problem and we had resort to using GoogleMapping again. As GoogleMaps does not re-route we had to follow its directions to the letter.
Dutifully, and as ...

They have spent a few years restoring it themselves and now it's absolutely stunning, complete with a swimming pool and glorious gardens.
Today, Dave and Mo took us out sightseeing to some of their favourite spots and at lunchtime we stopped for a delicious picnic, prepared by Mo, at the Charante River.
Rural France, it's beautiful. Gently rolling landscape, fields of sunflowers, grapes ...

... of 2008). There are two swimming pools and (one kiddies’ pool) in season, separated from campsite as per French rules, with sunbathing area.

Bar serves only wine and beer due to local licensing laws. The Areas specialty Pineau is available too – you’ve got to try it. Food can be available on request as are English snacks (& Pork Scratchings, which the French campers apparently love).

... back to the beach for a little then a couple of us left early to go shopping. I really love the symbol for the Camargue and I had seen a silver charm of it last week so I wanted to get it this week. I went into the store thinking the woman would remember be but instead she didn't and said she didn't understand what I was saying. Of course, she went to get her friend that spoke English. Just what I need ...

Ekskursioon oli huvitavalt korraldatud ja giidi inglise keel oli väga arusaadav. Piletihind sõltus sellest, millist konjakit sooviti proovida. Kuna ma pole suurem konjakifänn, siis valisin 7€ variandi, kus pakuti suhteliselt "naistekat" konjakit, R valis aga kallima variandi (ca 19€) ja proovis palju vanemat marki, mis lõhnas juba teravalt ja mistõttu ma maitsma ei hakanud igaks juhuks :)
