Lit et Mix (Cap de Homy) – Mimizan
Needless to say we did not feel like another 4 hour wait for a bit of spark for the Ruby. We slept in and were ready to leave at noon. When I was paying I chatted to another Frenchman who waited with us the previous day who was in the front of the electric line. I noticed he was well into the book he started the previous day and he told me he had been waiting since 6:00 and he was strong and will prevail. I smiled, paid and left. Next time I will book in advance.
We did not drive to far and we ended up in Mimizan just up the coast. Stumbled upon a lake with a Flower trail up on its banks. We decided to hope out the van and go for a walk. At the end of the trail we noticed a caravan park and decided to give it a try. We checking in the the Aire de Camping Car which was part of the site but slightly at the back and slightly cheaper. It had electricity and access to all the facilities. We had noticed these stands as part of the other sites we had seen and assumed it was part of the campsite. Tip: Ask if you can park there at the reception. It is way cheaper!
We unpacked and grabbed the picnic mat and headed off to the lake and lay down to read our books for a while.
Got the bikes off and went for a ride trough town and along the lake. I was set on swimming somewhere and went for a dip.
All hell broke loose at about 10pm, turns out that it was Karaoke night and we soon discovered the site was full of adolescent boys whose voices were breaking. Enough pillows could not hide the bellowing that lasted well into the early morning........ I still shudder at the thought of it. TIP: If your are in a campsite on the weekend, especially Saturday, Get wasted, or join in.
