| Le Crotoy to Rue to Le Crotoy - 8 miles |
A calm greyish morning,
not particularly cold with the sun doing it's best to break through
the high haze. Our plan today is to get Jamie's Pet Passport stamped
ready for the return Chunnel on Saturday so after a lazy breakfast
tootled off to Rue where there is a vetinerary clinic just as you
enter the town. They were happy to see to us straight away and Jamie
was as good as gold with Monsieur Martin, although he wouldn't take
the tablet and the vet had to resort to the usual
push-it-down-his-throat-and-make-him-swallow routine which he
accepted without fuss. With the very important paperwork completed,
10 minutes and €35 (it's a ripoff but no alternative) later we were
done.
A quick call into Lidl
across the road for a baguette then return to the aire at Le Crotoy.
Coffee then a nice hours walk round the town which is actually much
bigger than it appears, although today it was mostly closed, just the
cafes, bars and restaurants open for tourist business. A breeze off
the sea kept the temperature down although in shelter it was becoming
quite warm. Return to Bertie for lunch.
We decided on another
night here because it is very pleasant and has all facilities. It
also is a good jumping off point for the last leg of the French
section up to Wissant prior to our return to the UK. So a quiet
relaxation afternoon and evening, walking and playing with Jamie as
well as reading, knitting, puzzles and Bren's latest occupation,
colouring books. We've also made a list, currently 16 items long, of
things that need fixing on Bertie before our next trip, some big some
small but all require doing!
