We had a great rest day in our lovely campground. We walked 40 minutes to lidl and got some supplies for the next couple of days. Then we dumped all our clothes into the washing machine and hung them out to dry.

It was a hot 31 degrees today but thankfully our campsite was in the shade for most of the day. We sat around, read our books, snacked on junk food and grapes, and generally did nothing.

The camp owner just visited us and his friend owns a bike repair shop and he has offered to take Mike’s wheel into him for repair. This is really lucky as we would never have got in to have it repaired without an advanced reservation.

So hopefully we’ll have it back by lunchtime tomorrow, but we’ve decided we will probably have another night here as it’s so nice.

We’ve heard from the locals that the coast is very busy at the moment and the campgrounds are very crowded and possibly full. So we think we’ll head to Dunkirk and catch the ferry back to England next week, then catch the train to Bournemouth via London. We’re both pretty tired and the thought of struggling to get into crowded camping grounds does not appeal.
