Sunday 24^th July – Driving to St Emilion

I was hoping to leave at 8:30 but as we woke up at 8:00 that would have been quite an achievement! Nevertheless we were up and away by 08:45 which wasn’t bad.  The boys were great and very helpful.  So we said farewell to Spain and headed off to Bordeaux and St Emilion.

We drove up the coast from Barcelona, past the Costa Brava and up to Perpignon before hanging a left up to Toulouse and Bordeaux.  The Tom Tom said that it would take us 6hrs and with stops and the fact that we were driving a house it took us 8hrs.  The journey up the coast to Perpignon was pretty hairy as it was extremely windy and the beast swayed across the road quite a bit.  Consequently our speed was somewhat limited.

our pitch.

We arrived in Saint Emilion at 5ish and were pleasantly surprised by the campsite.   We had the usual stares from the occupants at the size of the motorhome.  Our pitch was lovely and the facilities some of the best we have encountered.  The boys played tennis and went for a swim and we had a barbeque supper.
