As a reward for our earlier cycle ride, we decided to treat ourselves to a meal in the bar area. On a previous day we had enjoyed the menu Del dia, in the main restaurant. It was good value, at €9.95 each for a choice of 3 courses, including a drink, bread and an appetiser of sobrasada De Mallorca.; a smooth, spicy chorizo pate/paste, ideal for spreading on crispy bread.

Today the sun had made an appearance and although it was still incredibly cold, we didn’t want to waste a day, so Orléans was our planned destination. Neither of us had ever visited the city before and it always seems pity not to make the most of what is on your doorstep. So we set off for a taster visit to Orléans.

On Wednesday evening we decided that we would not spend the planned 10 nights at Kiko Camping.
Although the beach and facilities are good, we felt a little hemmed in on our pitch and the need to watch electricity consumption was annoying.
The main reason for our decision to move however was that all the on-site roads were being block paved, which made it feel like a building site with associated noise and dust.
We looked in the Camping Card book and noticed a couple of sites a few kilometres south and decided to cycle over and take a look on Thursday.
The second site, Ole Camping, seemed to suit our needs, was €6.50 a night cheaper and included electricity. The beach was of the same standard too. We booked six nights and cycled back to camp.
Yesterday, Friday, we prepared the caravan for the move and slowly started to tow out of the site only to be delayed by a 40 tonne load of gravel being dumped in the only road out!
To be fair the way was made passable for us as quickly as they could but confirmed to me that our decision to move was a right one.
Towing Kilometres – Today: 8 Cumulative: 5,222
The short tow over here went without incident and Kim chose a pitch that gets the sun all day. The beach & restaurant are a short walk away. The shower & toilet facilities are clean and tidy, so should mean we remain here until heading north on Thursday. We have Eurotunnel booked for Thursday the 15th.
Today was extremely windy! Kim took a short video on the beach of the larger than usual Mediterranean waves and the blowing sand and tumble weeds. At one point the phone was almost blown out of her hands!
We even witnessed Neptune’s balls rolling down the beach 🙂
