Merlimont

Having both woke up on Friday still feeling a little under the weather, especially Jayne, we decided to spend the day where we were at Le Touquet. As I said, Jayne was feeling particularly poorly so spent most of the day in bed. I only ventured out a couple of times to take Tess for a walk on the beach.
Today was an early start but only because we woke up at 8.30 to watch England give the all blacks a lesson in total rugby.
We had found an aire in Normandy that we wanted to stop at next so around 12.30 off we set. 200km in glorious sunshine along country roads taking in some pretty little villages along the way (and of course a shopping and lunch stop). The aire has fresh water as well as grey and black waste points but even more surprising free electric points on each pitch! It's basically a free campsite but without the shower block. We were very lucky to get the last free pitch especially as a large French motorhome drove in right behind us.
Just going to chill out this evening and maybe explore the local village tomorrow before deciding on our next stop.Read more
