Very bad night as the rain hitting the top of the van is like a machine gun and my shelf bed is not far below it. Jc is deaf and he couldn't sleep either. It was relentless, all night and most of the day. Jc went off to the office to explain we would stay for another night and asked about the Sat TV system they advertised. They have TV points on every pitch and if you have the right cable, then hey presto, you can get their satellite which is set for English tv. Ahhh, that's why there are so many Engleesh! I race off to buy the cable from the supermarket and having paid the exorbitant sum of 17 euros we fiddle about in the rain setting it up, and I am getting very excited about catching a bit of Eastenders.
After an hour or so, we are both quite fed up with my purchase as there doesn't seem to be anything audio or visual down the wire except for a crackling sound so I start to wander around the site looking at other people's cables and find what might be a useful fellow camper. His welsh accent is so strong it is only just more understandable than the Spanish receptionist on the site, but he chats on about analogue and digital as an expert would, so when he comes round to enquiry if we have sorted it, we invite him in. ( as we haven't).
He has a Rapido camper, same sort of thing as Wishstream but French and with twin beds at the back. ( not sure if that is a French thing, twin beds?). They spend three to four months there as his wife likes the whist, the quizzes, the €1.50 tapas dish every Saturday. He is bored and would either like to go somewhere else or go home. Also, he knows nothing about setting up televisions. After another hopeless hour with him as commander of the remote control and going nowhere, I find a tatty A4 sheet in our Burstener bag which relates to the analogue set up of the Tv. I wrestle the remote off him, go through the motions and within minutes we are sorted.
Couldn't understand Eastenders as so much has happened since I last watched, but it was comforting and we saw some drama programme and the 10.00 news. Not sure it was the best use of €17 but it whiled away a very wet day.
