French Camping 2024, Day 21 Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
11th September 2024
The wind was still strong from the North, but it was a little cooler today. The sky to the North was shrouded with thin clouds, which stopped at the sea border.
We went for a walk along the beach to the East. The marshes and lagoons were on our left. The lagoons were devoid of avian life, except for the very occasional Egret and a large group of flamingos on the furthest away lagoon.
We headed inwards and were surprised by the amount of glass. We came to the conclusion that much of the land was reclaimed and built up from a rubbish dump, or dumping ground for builders’ waste. The odd circuit board was found along with old concrete.
Walked towards the main lagoon and had our Sad Gits conference call. Only us, Simon and Richard today.
Back then towards the campsite, lots of dragonflies around. Time for lunch.
After lunch went for a swim. Not many other people swimmimg. It was also clouding up. Despite the strong wind, the sea was calm, the wind coming off the land.
Quick walk to the shop to stock up some more beers.
Supper of duck and duck fat chips.
Rain started to spit as we went to bed.
