Run to the sun….

Think Caen St Malo etc were virtually flattened around D.Day..think 20000 civilians died in the bombing.BUSBY.
Yes, I was always amazed at the hospitality shown to my passengers on the D-Day anniversary trips although unsurprisingly, there was a bit of reluctance on the 1974 one.
Most of the French were not celebrating which was understandable especially when I saw the picture in the Newspapers from that time around Caen.
They said they would wait until the following year and the Liberation Day celebrations. 🤔
 
Managed to get out for a walk…😎

I try not to put too much negativity on here but last night was bad….

Got onto a site in Blanes, on the front so a nice sea view of sorts leccy included and I paid for Wi-Fi as I wanted to do some updates that can only be done on Wi-Fi….

Anyway nice long shower is called for so off we trot to the block and light sensor comes on as you walk in and right at the end is the disabled shower, undressed push button for hot water, warm up steel seat get on and one of the steel slats broke and I nearly collapse through the seat. Bugger I thought but balanced myself and soap up and the fecking light goes off…🤬 it was absolutely pitch black as I was right at the end of the block, couldn’t even find the push button when the water stopped…
Place is deserted so no rescue forthcoming.

I eventually get rinsed off and get back into my chair and go outside the cubicle and start waving around and yelling like a banshee in case the lights might be sound activated also…😆 lights come on and I go and finish up… sat outside waiting for Cintia and her lights stay on for the duration..😒

Back at the van and tried doing my updates and Wi-Fi is crap… half an hour later at 8.30 the electricity trips..

Anyway a lovely sunrise this morning as I was woken by the dripping of water (dew) from the trees on top of van… will go for a nice long walk along the front….☀️😎

Blames, that took me back a bit. October 2007 to be exact, it looks to be the same site we stayed on. Sorry to hear of your shower woes.

Hate those motion activated lights but understand why they are used.
Thought at first Tam had on fancy boots till I realised it was Blu's tail 🤣
Never been to Blanes, did consider it this year but J wasn't keen.

Me and tam watched this murmuration of starlings this evening, mesmerising…😳

Incredible isn't it? We saw an amazing murmuration of starlings in Villafranca De Los Barros in Spain earlier this year. We actually stayed an extra night just so that we could watch them again the following night. It was amazing how they all fly around and then drop into the trees at breakneck speed, to roost for the night. It's a wonder of nature that I will never grow tired of seeing.
 
Sounds like france except smart motorways
France is a truckers paradise for laybyes..overnight parking and decent trunk roads and motorways..Also one of the easiest countries for motorhomers..BUSBY

Didn’t do much today, went for a walk all along the front came back and didn’t feel good and slept most of the afternoon, just feel a bit achy and cold but ok now and a bit of a hot head…🤔

Was going to go into Barcelona tomorrow as I’ve sourced a parking spot not too far from the basilica but I’m not sure if I feel up to it, a few clouds around today and some wind so also thinking of getting down the coast a fair bit in to some sun and warmth…

Decisions decisions……🤔
