Loo rolls. A rant.

As mentioned campsites are not fully open. Which is a small hinderance for sourcing food.

This however is no excuse for a lack of toilet rolls in the loo. 

There is no reasoning behind it. A one or two star site will have some, but then three or four star sites not.

And then there is the ultimate joke, guess how much you need before entering!

This has meant that the joke "emergency roll" I purchased in Russian 2013 has now nearly been exhausted (no cardboard inner, just lots of tough paper so easy to pack).

To make matters worse, we don't have much space for frivolities and can you buy single rolls? No!

Can you buy twin rolls? No!

Four packs! That is the minimum.

We are leaving a trail of donated loo roll behind us.

We go to the classiest restaurants

Motorbikes welcome as well.

We had got used to campsites not being fully open for the season (shops, bars, cafes and pools shut).

But this is May, and back home campsites are usually in full swing.

We expected different after Nantes, but once we had left the Loire behind we were faced with totally shut campsites. Ah well, "ce la vie", we just had to push on, past the serpent of the Loire.

Reaching the Vendée, and more than a week since our last rest day we decided a holiday from the trip we as needed. A bank holiday weekend was upon us which meant the equivalent of two Sundays back to back with shut shops.

We had to  hang around for 3  hours at a causeway (le gois) to get to our target campsite.

With a creperie next to it, no hardship.
