Fouras les Bains (and a boat trip around Fort Boyard)<\/p>\n

19 miles cycling around average speed 8.4 mph top speed 19 mph<\/p>\n

Now that’s what I call a day off. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Up late at 8.30. Went into town to market and bought sardines on ice. Went to see girl at tourist office and booked Fort Boyard boat trip. Looked for a bar to charge batteries but decided to get a bottle of ros\u00e9 for lunch instead. Back at campsite relaxed with ros\u00e9 and read book. 4.30 boat trip. I managed to get a seat at the front with spray coming over my feet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Boat Guided tour was all in French but I just enjoyed the ride and yachts, jet skis etc passing by. Took lots of photos. (Ermintrude ;\u00a0 see separate post for lots of boat trip photos)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cooking dinner on the beach – sardines and salad with a bottle of ros\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

Had dinner on the beach of sardines and salad and sand. Found a lovely spot but a pair of naturists had same idea. Within 5 mins I’d seen them off. Set up a bit of wire from a fence to cook sardines over stove. I was looking for a coat hanger but couldn’t find one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic sunset and I took my first naked swim (if it’s good enough for the locals it’s fine by me. Very invigorating).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Back into town to find a bar to charge batteries! Well that was my excuse. A late night and I struggled to find my way back. Brilliant day. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
