Day 3 - Tuesday 22nd July - First Beach Day

 

 

After a long, refreshing sleep we awoke to bright sunny skies. It was lovely and hot. We put up the gazebo to provide some shade on our pitch and had a continental breakfast.

Afterwards we headed down to the beach.

On the beach there are 2 sea filled pools – 1 shallow kids pool and a deeper one. There are lifeguards on duty and a large open sea swimming area marked with buoys. There is a floating pontoon to jump on and off and also a set of metal steps to climb up and dive into the sea from. The sea is quite clear and blue. When the tide is fully in there is still a long sandy strip that doesn’t feel crowded and still has plenty of room for ball games (there is even a volley ball net).There is also a little cafe bar selling crepes, drinks and ice creams, public toilets and a shower.

Will upload a video when better wifi! 3hrs for 40mb!

Near the entrance of Al Kluger, looking on to the beach there is also a nice restaurant called Le Chalet Restaurant.

  

After a few hours tummies started rumbling so we headed back to our pitch and barbecued.

“Breaking  Bad” lets cook apron. very appropriate!

The afternoon was spent relaxing whilst the kids went in the pool (NB “Kids” are 16 & 17 – didn’t want you thinking I am irresponsibly leaving small children by the water!). Tuesday and Thursday nights are “Frites Nights” at Al Kluger so we cheated for tea and each had a portion of delicious chips.

After a few games of cards the night was rounded off with a little drama as 6-8 Gendarmes arrived to talk to a couple who had been having a bit of a domestic. Despite some of the police “interview” happening right in front of Monty, once again my schoolgirl French let me down and I couldn’t understand what had caused it all.

Trying the solar panel out!
