2nd December
We have spent much time being the only camper in the Aire or vineyard so it is quite a change and rather comforting to be here at Pech d'Ay camping municipal in Balurac les Bain next to Sete. This is on the Bassin de Thau which is a massive landlocked piece of water lined by the causeway which we drove down yesterday. The site is absolutely full of Camper vans of all types and sizes but after traipsing around for some time i established there were no Anglais! Yet again I compare this trip with sailing. I might post a suggestion on my www.motorhomefun.com forum suggesting we should run a British flag up our aerials or something. It would have been nice to see a fellow Brit today and discuss their success or otherwise of locking the Big Sat Dome onto Astra north or south. In fact just the BBC would have sufficed. I had to really concentrate hard and discuss the problem in French with our neighbour who had the largest Burstner van ever built. It was very good looking though. He was very positive about the fact that we would get a signal if we were patient. ( not a word I am familiar with), but after reading the manual again, we got locked on.
The camp site gets an 8 from me. Really clean wash block and heated as well. By far the best we have visited so far. But no washing machine. The French ( women only!) carry all their washing up and their clothes into the wash block to do it all there by hand. What a holiday!
The town is true French with a big square where even on a coldish day, the Boule park was full. There are a number of restaurants lining the waterfront. One claiming to be I the Michelin Guide, but not the one we went to last night - The Barge's 19 euro menu was not to be recommended.
