Camping Municipal Le Rayonnement (day 2)

Whilst breakfasting we talked with the lady we met from New Zealand yesterday evening, offering advice and information on her forward journey. That's two days running we've done this and each time have been held in high esteem for our knowledge and cycling.

After moving pitches to the pitch we refer to as ours (three times now) we washed some clothes and after Angela walked to the supermarket spent the afternoon sorting out our travel arrangements to come home. How long would that take? Hours! We appear to have found ourselves a little too far from Cherbourg. Rather than cycle further we have decided to stay here at Rochefort until Thursday. The weather forecast is not good with rain due all over France from Friday and with the difficulty to book us and the bikes on trains we're sadly returning home three days early. But hey, who wants to be stuck in a small wet tent? We can't complain, most of the time we've enjoyed good weather. Unlike last night there seems to be no cycle campers other than us.

We will stay in our tent here again tomorrow night and have booked an eco lodge for Wednesday night as we are booked on a train just after 6am to La Rochelle then transferring onto a TGV to Paris to pick up the train to Cherbourg to catch the 6.15pm ferry to Poole. We should be home around 10.30 pm (that's 11.30 pm to us being on French time). It's going to be a Long and stressful day! Over the next two days we will go out and cycle two circular routes.

We are eating to excess, tonight a bbq, so must keep moving.

(Our neighbours, luckily no Cockerell, don't worry girls it's burgers on the bbq tonight!)
