It was raining when we woke up, but after free water and pump out we made an early start, travelling on the N10 around Angouleme and Bordeaux and down the A63 towards Bayonne.
As per the old saying the weather cleared up by about 11.15 am - perhaps the weather gods are still on English time?
When we travelled this road before it was toll free all the way to Bayonne. It has now been improved and there are 2 separate toll sections in the middle. We came off the toll road at J9 and went back on again at J7 to get around Bayonne and the coastal towns. When we got back on the road is being improved and is full of roadworks for kms - not worth the toll charges.
We came off at J2 to go to the ACSI campsite Larrouleta (e17). As we waited at reception a British caravan and MH followed us in.
There is a small lake here, but we didn't get the chance to go for a walk as as soon as we arrived it poured it down with rain!
Electricity is only 5amps, unless you pay e21 for a pitch with 10amps.
Wifi is e2 of 6hrs but we are right near reception and it is very weak and keeps cutting out. It only just copes with the blog, but I daren't try uploading any photos - they are mainly of wet scenes anyway!
Amount spent today- Diesel @ .99 cents per litre - e 68.07
Road tolls - e 16.70
WiFi -e 2
TOTAL e 86.77
PS just before we arrived that warning light came on again! Luckily there is a Peugeot garage just down the road.
We had to pay road tolls!
