Day 28 – Le Village du Bois de saint Jean to Le Tranche sur mer

Tuesday May 31, 2011, 43 km (27 miles) – Total so far: 983 km (611 miles)

Today was another day of expensive camping grounds, most of them 25 euros plus. One campground quoted us 46 euros just to put up our tent for the night. Luckily we managed to find a basic campground for only 12 euros and we had the place to ourselves!

Today was a mostly scenic ride alongside the sea, past some more Surfers Paradise style towns. The camping grounds along this have become very expensive – 20 euros plus! All we want to do is put up our tent for the night and move on the next day.

We found a modestly priced camping ground for 16 euros a night, and it was full of British holiday makers! It is the busiest campground we have come across and everybody was British. Apparently it is school holidays so that explains things a bit.

The one good thing about it being a British holiday resort is that the standard of the facilities are excellent. There are separate ladies and mens toilets and showers, the toilets all have seats and each cubicle has toilet paper! It also had a bar that was actually open.
