Having looked at the choices for travel last night and taking into consideration that the weather forecast is for a hot weekend down on the coast we opted to bite the bullet and take the motorway (toll) cutting the journey from 7.5 to a manageable 3 hours to make it in one hit.
We got an early start and were soon heading south to sunnier climes. The journey itself was pain free albeit a bit monotonous and only worth noting that inspite of it being September the landscape is significantly more lush than back in the parched UK.
We left the ease of the toll roads a few short miles from our chosen campsite and were soon pitched up at Camping Partaccia a short stroll from the seafront. It was by now approaching 30 degrees (note to self – be careful what you wish for) and we had to leave exploring until quite a bit later and concentrate on trying to keep cool! Should I say – survive the heat!….
Today’s stats:
- Miles driven – 186
- Miles walked – 2
- Beaches – 1
- Tolls – £25.00
- O/N – £22.62
Sandra, I have kept up with your blog off and on for a while now. I met your son in the summer of 2019 in Ruan Minor, very near Cadgwith Cove on the beautiful Cornwall coast. At the time, my husband and I had embarked on a year around the world which wound down, purely coincidentally, on March 11, 2020, just as everything was coming to a halt due to Covid. We live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the U.S. and had planned to buy a campervan on return from our around the world adventure, but held off due to Covid and never got back to it. We are still travelling, just not full time.
I’m glad to see that you’re still at it, still travelling, and writing about your experiences. You are an inspiration!
