Mesnil Saint Pere Friday 28th July

Martin Luther King famously said ‘I have a dream’. Our dream was lakeside camping for the weekend. Seems we found it with the place above. Again, a fairly non-descript place, very linear, but it lead to a massive lake with a beach. Job done.

Win of the week (and we need one!!) came from Noush who managed against seemingly impossible odds to fix the fridge. There is more ways to run the fridge in the van than there is ways to cook an egg. The one we needed was gas (yeah, go figure – gas to run the fridge) it’s like asking someone to put another log on the fire to get the ice maker rocking. Anyway, after dismantling the vent and most of the van we got it working, Turns out the igniter was kaput. So a quick trip into Troyes resulted in the purchase of a gas lighter thing (7 bloody euros though) but we have cold beer. Nuff said. (Jon bed by 8pm!).
