24/05/2014 : Dieppe - Pont De L'Arche

Saturday
                                           
The ferry landed at 0400 and we drove just a few hundred yards to an aire on the beachfront. Straight to bed and fell asleep to the sound of rain hammering on the roof. We didn't wake up until about 1000. Jo and I went for a walk along the harbourside and bought croissants leaving Amelia to get dressed. 

Last available spot, right by the river

Coffee and breakfast on the promenade before heading towards Rouen. We found an absolutely enormous Carrefour and so stocked up with food (for us and Frank - diesel still cheaper here than at home) before driving to an aire at Pont De L'Arche. Only 4 spaces according to the book so we drive down with fingers crossed to find the last spot right next to the river.

J & A hiding from the smelly man!

Jo cooked a lovely supper of fish and prawns after a walk. Lazy evening in the van reading - shame though that we had to endure some of the local oiks blasting rubbish music from their car stereos in a nearby car park! We did get accosted by a fellow motorhomer, who spotting another English van, was desperate to engage us in conversation. We think he was Dutch, but lived in Britain. He had been on the road for eight months, and unfortunately, appeared not to have had access to any showering facilities for the period! - very friendly though!!
