Day 5 – Briocquevill-Sur-Mer to Genets (click to view days route in new page)

I was woken in the night by someone or something trying to get into our tent.

“WTF is that” I whispered to Mike.

“Snore” replied Mike.

“Seriously – wake up, there is something trying to get into our tent”

Mike rolls over and continues to snore.

I turned around and there was a giant frog sliming up the side of our tent. gross! and it wasn’t just a little pond frog, it was gigantic – larger than a small bunny.

“Mike – It’s a giant frog – get it off, get it off”.

“Snore” replied Mike.

I had to flick it a few times to get it off when finally it fell to the ground with a thud. So gross, now our tent is covered in frog slime. I couldn’t sleep in fear of it sliming all our belongings that lay outside the tent.

Apart from the frog episode the day was pretty much the same as the others. There were a few more hills which I managed to cycle up today. I have started treating the hills as a bit of a challenge and as a result I am starting to enjoy them.

We decided to camp after only 30kms. No point in pushing it is there?

It seems the worse the campground facilities, the more expensive they are. This is the most expensive campsite yet and the facilities are hideous. At 17 euros (NZD $35) per night I would expect better that this.

At least they had toilet paper – but you had to grab some before you went in.

And the grotty outdoor sinks.
