Camping avec wifi

Tres bien.  Le campingsite avec le wifi gratuit.  A proper french one with hedges and everything.  The rest of the residents appeared to play a mass boule game a short while ago, kids'n'all.

So first blogging of the adventure, wahey.  So far we've covered about 900km's and are near St Nazaire on the Atlantic coast - the air is a luverly temperature (van said 31.5degrees, which we believe!), but the water is cold (foot says so).  It's still school holidays so things are a bit busier this week than we think they will be going forwards for a turn - although "busy" is not really causing any problems.  It probably means that we'll be sharing camping areas with a more mature clientele than now in the next weeks though, which I'm sure will bring its own entertainments.

General scenery is a bit dull at the moment, but I think it will improve / change dramatically as we get a bit further south.  Although we have been discussing how we are going to see spring blossoming as we travel, which should be pretty cool.  They like their churches, most small towns have a cathedral of sorts, and we visited an island today that seemed to be wholly made of an abbey!
Loving the freedom, but conscious that we are going at quick a rate, in terms of distance per day.  I quite like it and when Fran stays awake she likes the scenery too.  We have to be sure to stop when we see something interesting.
Rufus is fully behaving herself, and for a brief while I was convinced we were getting 31mpg.  My wife has since corrected my maths and it's only 19mpg (I'd worked out kmpg!). 
Should be off to La Rochelle tomorrow via some coastal roads, and then dropping in on Alan and Trish at the weekend (at the time of posting they don't know this!).
