• Swim chill

    28 december 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    I finally got my swim! It was a pretty cold experience. Hung around the site today. Apart from a walk to get provisions. Sunny and warm, but not so much so in the shade. And we're in the shade. My morning exercises warmed me up a bit. It's great because we have a private little area.
    A bit of research into next destination brought us to the decision of heading west towards Spain, not east to Italy. One reason being that in the North they're quite strict about where you can park overnight and some southern Italian 'sostas' like 'aires' have people come and tell you that they'll look after your van for you if you pay them. Apparently, advice is to move on or pay. Don't stay and not pay. That all sounded a bit Mafia-like and outside our comfort zone. It's difficult to tell if there are campsites open and if they are, they are quite costly. Staying every night on a site would blow our budget.
