Mimizan – Bordeaux
Arrived in Bordeaux to probably the only campsite in the area. Bordeaux de Lac (trans. lac – Lake) sounded promising with hopeful views of the lake and 8km outside the centre. No luck there unfortunately – there is no lake. There are a few man made “natural” pools.
As we do (somehow) we landed our site in front of a couple of homeboys with a mini cd player pumping out the tunes. Some French pop and some really shameful late 80's & 90's style music. There was another crew of homies chilling outside the laundry a few metres away. After a while the group made friends with each other. Nick, feeling left out, promptly placed his cap loosely sideways and tipped up, not tight, to try and fit in.
Instead we made friends with a couple from Aus and there 3 little ones. We have heard a few crazy stories of misfortunes from people along the way. Fortunately we have not had any. Blessed.
With hope of the site shop having a few bits – we were horribly disappointed leaving us with very little to create supper with. Eating becomes really important when you have nothing else to do. So we made a pasta & sauce and went to bed.
