My 3rd morning in Leaucate. This post (and others maybe) will be posted late as my wifi spot has disappeared. The bloke must have realised some oik was stealing his bandwidth and put a stop to it.
My brand new IKEA kettle broke today, after only 3 weeks of use. I now have to grab to kettle with a tea towel as I have no handle on it. Last time I trust their kitchen goods.
As there was no wind my main aim for today was to find somewhere to empty my poo tank and find some water. This was easier said than done. I downloaded a list of aires on my beloved tomtom sat nav. Well the guy who created this points of interest addon has a funny sense of humour. One was a building site, another was a spar shop and to cap it all another was a swimming pool.
With the thought of having sewage overflow I decided to pay for a camp site. 14 euros including electric (eeek) I made my way to any plot I wanted. Bliss.
With all my ablutions all sorted I went for a bike ride. Leaucate is a superb place to visit. Really nice cafes and shops to nose around in. As I rode on to the end of the wooden walkway I saw casino Lydia. This was an impressive site and if I was the gambling type. I would be putting my hand into my pocket to hit the tables. Luckily I'm not. As I rode around I sat and watched people play in the boules area. People of all ages were playing. It looks like a fun game. I will look on the internet. Amazingly the tree I was under had this raspberry type fruit growing off if. I wouldn't have known but for the players going up to it and having a feed. They tasted lovely. Really sweet.
Matthew Burridge from Demon sails kindly sent me a text with the lat and long coords of a local aire. So I could empty my poo pot. Unfortunately he sent me some weird shit that turned out to be 70 miles away. I let him know this very politely and he curtly replied. “Well what do you ducking want”! I didn't even ask about ducks.
With the sunshine out I decided to ride to the beach and try and get a bit of a tan. The lilly white Brit sticks out like a sore thumb so I'm trying to blend in. On the way there a guy was selling melons. So I ended up on the beach getting a tan and eating the sweetest melon I've ever tasted. Life feels good for sure.
