After a long drive (for us) north west we rolled up to the free aire in Sully Sur Loire, this was at the end of an avenue of trees adjacent to a fantastic Chateau right on the banks of the Loire river. Up until then we had been underwhelmed by the southern end of the Loire we had driven along. The setting here more than made up for it. The aire entrance was a wiggle through some stupidly tight posts and boulders - if we had been in a longer van it would have been impossible.
As the light was fading we went for a quick stroll, this was a good decision as the forecast was for rain tomorrow.

Another longish drive for us over to the Haute Normandie Coast a favourite of ours. There are lots of nice seaside towns with good aires, our choice was Veulettes Sur Mer which we last visited 2 years ago. It is a very low key, under developed town with some amazing Arts & Craft houses. We weren't prepared for the bitter NE wind which was very chilling. In the evening we walked along the promenade to a restaurant where I enjoyed moules frites for the first time in ages. YUM! Tina had a very nice turkey escalope, we waddled back to the van ready for a nice long sleep.
