Last day of sea, sand, boarding and ice-cream (OK, maybe not ice-cream) - so we make it a good one, playing frisbie, yard-ball, castle-building and pulling Mae at high speed across the waves on a body board (hilarious). We stayed at Soulac-sur-mer 2 nights longer than originally planned, but it was well worth it.

The only mishap so far is that the french lpg adaptors don't work on Rosie (should have bought the adaptor in the UK - doh!) so we have to run the fridge on the battery - but this is fine with the new solar charger (so cool) - and cook outside on the camping-gaz outdoor cooker (so nice).

Food: As well as sampling French ice-cream (a lot), we've been enjoying some lovely grub from local markets - incredible fruit, cheese, bread and veg (stuffed olives to die for) - though we don't always agree, for example a Gouda that I thought was a bit like some English cheeses Sam declared "Uggh! So NOT like cheddar!!"

Next stop, the Pyraness...
