Montalivet-les-Bains

The cat watches us leave from Sabines boudoir. She wasn't going to get up earlier than 8.30 so we asked that breakfast be deducted from the tarrif . Prefer our own anyway.

This was Lacamau lake we stayed at and now we're going 13kms to the coast to Lacanau plage (beach). A few big raindrops threaten so we put on coats.

We meet mr turtle hurrying for cover

Phew, that's the closest we've come to getting rained on since we started.

  Here's Lacanau Beach. This coast is one huge long beach , several hundred kms long with massive sand dunes.

We breakfast here then follow the bike trail North. We are now on Eurovelo one  which runs from Lisbon Portugal , up to Norway. We'll try and stay on it through France

The washing wasn't dry so I'm the clothes line. 

 At Hourtin Plage we have lunch. Our table looks over the street . Typical beach town but tell me , when does it become ok to wear your undies down the Main Street. Would he do the same in Bordeaux on his way into work at the bank?

You may have gathered by now that this bike route is all forest and sand dunes!

 We'll stop at Montalivet-les-Bains for the night

What a great place and we've found the bungalows we were looking for at this motor camp

Love these things! Fully equiped, 2 bedrooms,kitchen . Ash and Lee shared one with us on the Loire once , and still only €22 / night. We're staying 2 nights so I can lie around on the beach for a change

PLUS, I get to cook bacon and eggs for tea
