Birds and Boardwalks

Before leaving this morning we took another walk around the town so that Emma could get some pictures of the Abbey. Apparently the sun was in the wrong place yesterday! We emptied and filled before hitting the road.

We’re heading to an Aire de Camping Car at Peyriac-de-Mer. The route to the coast winds its way down to sea level through a scenic gorge. There were lots of bikers enjoying the sweeping curves of this road. 

After stopping en-route for coffee we arrived at the Aire around 11:30. We found a nice parking place for Kiki and after and early lunch we set off on a hike around the salt water lagoon. 

There were lots of birds around including quite a few pink flamingo’s. It turned out that the route around one of the smaller lagoons we planned to do was quite short so we extended it and ended up walking about 10km. 

We looped back to Kiki, had a drink and some chocolate for sustenance and headed out again. This time we took a boardwalk across the lagoon which, to Emma’s frustration, we had previously missed. We then followed the path along a low dyke back into the small village of Peyriac-de-Mer. Another board walk just for Emma took us back the Aire and Kiki.

We had a very smelly baked Camembert for dinner before settling down for the evening.
