Day 45 – Saint-Père-sur-Loire
For a change we had no issues today ..
We left the site at around 10am and used the toll road for most of the 200 miles we needed to travel.
After around 2 hours we took a break in an Aire and bought a coffee & filled chicken baguette. What little cash we had has now all but gone. The rest of the journey was unadventurous and so we arrived at our overnight stop around 2:30pm. There was no-one to be seen at the reception but after around 20 minutes we did see a girl who basically told us the gate code and said go find a pitch.
We parked really close to the toilet block. None of the taps around the site were running so we had to improvise and find water in the shower cubicles.
Later in the afternoon the receptionist came and said that they had not received our booking from the club. This has happened over the last two stops. She asked us to visit the reception so we could formally get booked in. At this point she asked fo a further €2 for the second dog….this could be embarrassing but luckily I did have it in coins. I then carried on and filled with fuel at the Super U supermarket.
There is free WIFI here but only for 2 hours every day for any device so we decided to watch a film on the laptop from Netflix.
Our last big push tomorrow to get back within striking distance of Euro tunnel. Our big decision is do we go west around Paris and avoid the tolls but it will take much longer, go through the centre of Paris incurring substantial tolls or go east of Paris with tolls but skirting the dreaded ring road. Decision for the morning.
