Off home

Tomorrow we leave this lovely campsite, and meander home.   However I do not need to remind people again that we are without our motor home, so will have to stay in budget hotels rather than in nice little aires.   I would like to add that the cost of repairs is adding up, as parts have to come from Italy.   Hopefully we will have it back in time for Christmas.  The joys.  One little mishap.

Today we packed up our caravan, and managed to get the awning down in between gusts of wind, plus a few showers.  The wind by the way has stropped, suddenly, as predicted.  However as it came from the south east, it also brought dessert sand with it, so everything was covered in a layer of dust.  An added bonus!  

Tonight we went out for dinner, fish for me and mussels for Walter.  We sat on the balcony overlooking the bay, and listened to the people below shouting when France performed well.   All the bars were full of people watching the football, France v Germany.  Sadly France lost to Germany 0-1.  It became very quiet after the game so we knew the news was not good.   And the faces of fellow diners confirmed the bad news.

I thought I would include a few photos of the swimming pool, taken during our first week here.  So beautiful and clean, and cold.  But very empty of people.  Just us in the pool.  So peaceful.

Patrick, Donna and Lucy lined up in the water.

Plenty of unoccupied sun loungers too.  It will not be the same situation next week as 40 families are due to arrive, and the holiday season will start in earnest.

So the finish of a lovely holiday, but happily we will be back again in less than four weeks time.  Looking forward to it.
