From PARIS, caught a train to La Rochelle, which was en route to the Island el de re Tenille has always wanted to visit (had a pen pal there years ago). We had nothing booked there, were going to rock up and hope for the best!
As soon as we got out of the train station, saw a car hire place, Tenille suggested we hire a car (yer, Ive driven on the right hand side before!!!!), as wasnt going to be much public transport on the island . There is a long bridge over to the island.
Drove around, and I toko a wrong turn off a round about, and eneded up at a caravan park!! what the heck, lets ask. They ened up having a on site tranportable villa thingy we could hire for the night! only 38 euro as well! Perfect!
We even had a front porch!!!
That over, the island was an absolute beatiful place! Slow paced, def french! Reminded me a little like a huge rotto, but much nicer, and heaps bigger (was a lot of traffic on it). Had a number of villages on it.After dropping off the car the next day, we had some time to kill while waiting for the train. Hmm, there is some wine in our bag, lets just get it out and camp in front of the train station )Tenilles idea, is was it was)
Ok, it was my idea to then go and find some more wine. Ened up at a local bar in La Rochelle. Tenille scored a free rugby shirt, see below, given to her by one of the locals. hee hee
