Aire de Saint Langis les Mortagne

Image
A good crossing from Dover to Dunkirk, it should have been Calais but a slight error in the on line booking process  and concentrating on the price and not the destination. Quite a trip from Dunkirk, a number of traffic jams that culminated in hitting Rouen at rush hour. Anyway that's all behind us and we are at a very nice Aire overlooking a small lake.  Mr D, our slow cooker has provided the evening meal again and now settling down for the night. Another 4 hour or so trip tomorrow.

Canterbury park and ride.

Image
Not a bad trip down to the park and ride at Canterbury. Nice place with a pub on the corner. £3.50 per day but the day starts at 12 midnight, so an overnight stop is £7.00. Ferry in the morning so its an early night. The park and ride motorhome stop has basic facilities, drinking water, grey and black water disposal and general waste. Very quiet night apart from the wind, outside that is, not internaly generated!

Saint Jean Pied de Port day 2

Second impressions of the town are more favourable. Yesterday was late and the town was very busy with pilgrims searching for places to stay. Today was a lot quieter and lent itself to more sightseeing. The old town is very nice with narrow cobbled streets and interesting shops, although most are catering for the tourist / pilgrims. The town also has a fortifed citadel high on the hill that is well worth the climb to view and for the vantage point for the surrounding area. The local school occupies the buildings in the citadel. The fortifications were designed by Vauban. He must have got around a bit as we have seen his handywork all over Europe. Back to the campsite for the shade during the heat of the afternoon and for first wife to do some washing, good lass. Over the Pyrenees tomorrow on the N-135 which is supposed to be an interesting drive. I imagine their will be a few renditions of "The self preservation society" going round the hairpin bends.
