I don't run a power station on wheels!
I don't like having a one minute shower in a broom cupboard which will invariably leak to areas I cannot see!
I don't like emptying the cassette when it has poo in it!
I do like a hot shower if it is clean - not all are!
I do like to use a clean loo - not all are!
I do like value for money!!
So if the facilities are there why not use them if they do not add a ridiculous amount to the cost.
The seems to be an underlying feeling amongst some that off grid is the only way to go and if I choose to use EHU or site showers then there is something wrong with me.
I am happy to use stellplatze or Aires but the quality and cleanliness varies drastically between countries.
Price also varies dramatically - we had an extended stay on great site near Lorient for six nights for €93. Then having to unexpectedly return to UK early we stayed at a regular haunt near Polzeath we had to pay £30 per night.
Both were spotlessly clean, had EHU and were near sandy beaches and bars and restaurants.
So why wouldn't I plug and use their facilities?
I could have stayed disconnected and used my loo but chose not to!
We will return to Europe in September and will no doubt use a variety of overnight options.
