Day 45 back to La Rochelle

The weather was not good so we waited a while to depart. The wind was up to 50 mph and you could really feel it. Broke it up into 3 legs, driving through Saintes, then onto Ro⁸chefort, but only having turned around seeing that the satnav was taking us over the horrendous high bridge that we'd done on the way down. Had a break for a windy stroll to a cafe for a Croque monsieur, then the final leg to La Rochelle which felt long. Arrived at the Aire point de neuf which was on the opposite side of town from the Municipal campsite site we'd stayed at. Had a completely different view walking into town, and the waves were churning on the front. Had a wine on the harbour, I grabbed a nice kebab and Helen got some supplies. We found an Irish bar where we could drink inside and chatted to an Irish couple who'd just come for the weekend and been diverted by the winds to Toulouse airport, 6 hours away. Mark had stomach cramps on the way home and the van toilet had to save him, sorry wifey 😢Read more
