2008, Day Thirteen, Saint-Arnoult

Day thirteen 13th June

When over to reception to pay, the miserable woman wasn't there so our check out went smoothly, unlike Nicole's the next day, when the afore mentioned "miserable woman", accused her of leaving the bar the night before without paying for their meal or drinks. They had not even eaten in the bar but got no apology for the mistaken accusation, Nicole and her family have been there twice before but along with us, will probably never be back again.

Next site for us in Saint-Arnoult was only nine miles away, so to get there before noon (just in case reception closed for lunch) we didn't have to leave too early. We said our goodbyes and setoff, I immediately didn't like the way the sat-nav was taking us and turned down some very narrow roads to get back to near where we started. I hadn't checked the route the sat-nav was right I was wrong should have been D163 and then D27 all the way to the site, easy but we ended up driving through Villers-sur-Mer on the coast. This was about the same distance but took longer and there was the extra mileage I had done at the beginning of the drive.

We did still arrive before noon (reception didn't closed for lunch anyway), used the ACSI card to get €14/ night, drove round and picked out a pitch, then walked back to the bar, just for a look round. They had Hoegaarden on draught and the food smelt good so we stopped there for lunch and a beer.

It didn't look far to the village (less than a mile), so we set off to walk, the path isn't very good but it didn't take us long to get there anyway. We walked by the river, had a sit and a look in some of the shops, we thought about having a drink there but just walked back to the site.


After tea we walked to the lake on site but as it was getting overcast and cool, we decided to walk round it another day and just went back to the van for a drink and some TV. The site got very busy with Dutch people heading for the bar to watch the football, it also got noisy, I suppose this could be because they were beating France 4 -1, not a good day for the French.
