Day 22 – Pornic to Le Frandiere

Wednesday May 25, 2011

Yet another stunning day. We continued to head south down the coast towards an island which can be reach via a submerged road only when the tide is out.

We arrived at the submerged road with no idea when time the low tide was. There was a sign with a digital display of 18:15 (6.30pm) . We took this to be the low tide. Darn – it’s only 16:30 (4.30pm) now.

We managed to decipher the small print which said you can cross 1.5 hours before low tide and 1.5 hours after high tide. Perfect! We couldn’t have timed it better. We had 15 minutes to wait but we decided to start cycling across anyway to beat all the motorhomes.

If you look really hard you can see Mike ahead, desperate to get across the road before the tide comes in!

We stopped at the first campground we came to and spent an hour trying to decide where to put our tent.
