Away from the Beach.

We did, despite every effort, manage to catch the sun yesterday. That'll be something to do with none of us having been in the sun for any length of time in the last few years. Except Emma, who managed to get very burned, especially at the top of her thighs. So we decided, much to Lizzy's disgust, as she wasn't burnt at all, to forego the beach today, What we decided was that we'll go down to the water this evening after supper.

So today has shown us that being in a seaside campsite can be a little dull. We've been fending off piteous cries of "Can we go to the beach yet?" from Lizzy all day. However, they have met some lovely friends, who speak excellent English due to the fact that their mum is American, although their dad is German. They're lovely girls, and the children have been in and out of each other's tents all day.

So, Camping Le Truc Vert. The jury has returned, and has unanimously decided that the camp site is Good! For me, it was the discovery, the first evening, of free Wi-Fi down at the reception area. Walking along, checking out the area, I was puzzled, for a moment, by a couple pouring over a laptop, until I realised that they were clearly surfing the web. I popped out the old phone, and sure enough, there was a WLan, labelled "gratuit"! For Emma it's the hotties - Oh to be 16 again! Apparently there is always something cute passing, or being passed by. For Lizzy it's the closeness of the beach - she's a real beach babe, and can't wait to get back there again. For Lottie, it's the cleanliness of the facilities! That seems a little random, but at least I know we can recommend this site to Vesna! I can overlook the rudeness of the lady at the reception, and will charitably put it down to the stress of having to deal with a number of people, all speaking different languages at the same time. So while I'll be sad to leave the site, I'll be pleased be in the mountains.
