We\u2019re trying to head down the coast of France, making our way to Spain, but it\u2019s been really cold and windy and I still don\u2019t seem to be over this cold. And neither of us feel up to doing much. So we\u2019re just tootering down the coast, following roads that we have cycled on before, and not making a lot of progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">But with the price of fuel here, that\u2019s not a bad thing. It is the equivalent of $4 a litre here for diesel and I think that\u2019s more than nz. And Bertie does like his diesel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Today I put in a place in the navigation that was 1.5 hours away. But somehow it took us all day to get there. Why? I have no idea. Although we did spend about an hour trying to find a toilet this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We didn\u2019t even go to the shops. Although we did stop and buy a stale baguette. I don\u2019t know what has happened to France, but once upon a time a stale baguette would have been unheard of. But now it seems to be a regular thing. We did get two pain au raisons though and they were delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We eventually made our way to the place I had planned to camp at two nights ago. It\u2019s on a clifftop with beautiful views over the ocean. And it\u2019s free. But, it\u2019s so frikking windy and cold. We tried to do a clifftop walk and almost got blown away. So we scuttled back to the warmth of the van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Mike is trying his hand at knitting, I am trying to edit a movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don\u2019t really know what we are doing.
