La Rochelle

For the first time this week the rain stopped and the sun came out. Arrived at the aire and chose our spot. Then after a spot of lunch we went for a walk around the town. Strolled down to the sea and along the promenade towards the very impressive harbour and its sea of masts. La Rochelle has a very relaxed and friendly feel to it and with today being Halloween there were lots of children dressed in spooky costumes wandering around trick or treating the local shops and businesses.
Friday morning saw the rain back with avengence! So a lazy day was had, Jayne cleaned the van while I carried out some essential repairs (re routing the phone charging cables and checking that we could get the ITV hub on the sites Wi-Fi ready for the rugby).
