2004, Day Five, Houlgate

Day five 15th June

Mick and I set off to find a supermarket to get meat for a BBQ, we have found two supermarkets close together using AutoRoute.  They are both in the next town, Dives-sur-Mer, about four kilometres away, but it seamed to be a lot further driving there.  The supermarkets, a Super U and an Intermarché, are actually opposite each other, we choose the Super U as it is on the same side of the road as we are (if we had been going the other way it would have bee the Intermarché).  Mick also toped up with petrol at the Super U.

Later we all walk down to sea front, the beach is long, wide and golden.  The promenade is lined with beach huts like the ones at a lot of costal resorts back home.  There is a casino on the front but we do not use it.  The street behind the front running parallel is where the bars and restaurants are.

All the kids, big and little have a play in a park on the way back.

 


It's a glorious day so its back to the site and off to the pool, the twins are not that keen on the water, it was a little bit cool.

After a cooling the pool I have a beer in the bar before going back for tea.

We decide we will use the campsite takeaway tonight, so me and Nick pop over to order but it doesn't appear to be open, we go back over later but it never does open.  Luckily we have plenty to eat.  We then settle down to watch a DVD of Phoenix Nights, though tonight we just watch the outtakes, hilarious.

Day four or Day six
