Oh what a night. From around four yesterday afternoon lots of young people began to arrive. We were a little concerned some of them may be placed in the lodges behind us. Fortunately not. All through the night until after two we could hear voices and the annoying dragging of suitcases on wheels passing near to our tent. To add to this motorbikes and cars could be heard racing along the roads outside the campsite. We have stayed here before at a weekend and never experienced the like. Security is in place here at the entrance all night which means it doesn't matter if you arrive late. We think the suitcase brigade were here for a exhibition or conference, possibly on tourism. But that's just a guess.
There is also a party on tonight in the Margaux suite. And somewhere in the area, as last Saturday we can hear loud bassy music. We expect another disturbed night.
We sound like a couple of right old moaners don't we? We spent the day washing and planning the next week. Trains are difficult to book and although we wanted to take one to La Rochelle tomorrow the tickets all sold out whilst we ate lunch. We are now booked on a mid afternoon train to Rochefort where we will stay overnight and then the next day cycle onto the Ile de Re after which we must take some trains to Cherbourg. The night sky is a clear inky black. We expect it to be cold. Today's temperature 28c, so cold nights are a small price to pay for beautiful days.
We're looking around for a smaller replacement for Marge, maybe something like this which we saw on the site, but an original older Land Rover Defender.
