Really good ride today, Dave excelled in his GPS efforts. We escaped Narbonne easily & rode along quiet country lanes all day. The highlight of the ride was a 10km section along a canal from Villenueve Les Beziers to Agde. We even spotted heaps of Flamingoes feeding in a nearby swamp whilst riding. Cool. The low light was riding through Gypo Camps located in the French version of the "Bayou" about 10 Kay's prior to reaching Agde.
Earlier we stopped for 1.5hrs at Villenueve Les Beziers for a 3 course lunch and beers. It was great. Once we arrived at Agde we headed another 7kms for the Port/Marina, where a large campground is located called La Clape, it's a bit pricey at 22€ per tent site. I asked if they have toilet paper in the loos. To which the reply was "We" . I had to laugh when Jenny returned from her first toilet visit and told me the toilet paper is on a jumbo poo ticket roll near the entrance and you have to dispense the amount of paper you think you will require ? Also all the campgrounds have showers that requires you to push a button. If you are lucky luke warm water slowly squirts at you for 10 seconds, so you're continually pressing this dam water button. The campground also wanted to charge 9€ for wifi so we went down to the Port/Marina and purchased a couple of drinks for 12.5€ & used their free wifi. Apparently it is going to piss down tonight & tomorrow, this region is on their idea of Yellow Alert. Could make for an interesting Sunday, stay tuned.
Time to leave the comfortable Regency Hotel, Narbonne France.
5kms out of Narbonne along a quiet country road, we come across the Airport.
Cool Airport hey Jen.
Most of the day we travelled quiet roads like this.
Car of the day, a pimped older Renault.
We have stopped for a snack, 2 hard boiled eggs each, yummo.
I seem to be carrying my "Pain" in an unfortunate position, not part of the plan :-)
Campground down near the beach area of Agde, lots of rain forecast for tomorrow. :-(
