Day 25 – Notre Dame de Monts to Givrand click link for route

Saturday May 28, 2011

Today was mostly flat riding along the beach. We cycled passed a few hideous Surfers Paradise style towns with semi-high rises right on the beach. We are very glad to be here in the off-season – these places would be heaving in the summer time.

There also seems to be a sudden saturation of camping grounds – a lot of them with English pubs advertising Stella on tap!
“That’s probably the only way the woman can get her bloke out here is if there is an English pub selling stella!” I commented to mike while sipping on my stella in a pub in the camping ground. Well, we didn’t have much choice, and the camping is only 10 euros. Seriously though – we wouldn’t be drinking Stella at the bar, that would be way too expensive for us. We much prefer drinking our 22c lidl beer around our campsite.

Our camping site is a nice grassy pitch rather than the sandy ones we have had recently. The sand campsites seem to be full of little red spiders which were starting to creep me out.
