Day 6: Sun, Sun, Sun

Song of the Day: Here Comes the Sun - Nina Simone

Distance Travelled: 140.1 miles

It is one thing that I really missed in the UK, but there was plenty of it in Ile De Re. SUN!!!!!!!!!! We spent yesterday afternoon walking along the beach of Ile De Re, and generally enjoying the sun. We parked up with a fantastic view of the sea, and had a relaxing evening reading and watching the world go by (insert violin music and sighs of contentment etc).

So this morning we went to La Rochelle to have a look around. The old town is a stunning place, and after using the internet, we went snap happy with the camera (how surprising). Old cobbled streets and old stone brick buildings are the kind of thing I love. We also did the French passtime of sitting with a drink and watching the world go by.

We headed to Bordeaux at night as we had to pick up some friends in the morning before we headed to the French Chateau we were spending the weekend at. Of course, nothing can ever be that simple. Apparently our van needs more than 4 amps to run the fridge (oops). Just want to take this opportunity to apologise to all those people that I shorted out. My Bad ;-)
