Took a short and uneventful drive down to Dijon. Late start mainly because Billy has a bit of an upset stomach. Spent most of the night getting up and taking him to the toilet!
He seems better today but grumpy because we are now keeping him away from French food and also put him on bottled water. Fingers crossed this does the trick.
Sharon’s highlight of the day was getting some washing done and another trip to an enormous supermarket. So happy that she could self checkout, but frustrated that she didn’t press for the English option in the screen!
Now pitched for two nights at Camping Lac Kir. A lovely site right in the heart of Dijon city centre. Time for a relaxing couple of nights and a chance to catch up on some housekeeping!
Sharon says; “we look proper French with the washing hanging out the back!”
To make the point when we ‘hooked up’ we came across a multipoint charger putting juice in two mobile phones!!
The campsite is in the heart of the city, a pleasant site in a natural setting near Lake Kir and we took an evening walk along the river Ouche round to the lake. It was busy with locals out and about enjoying the evening sunshine.
Part of the 37 hectares of the lake is cordoned off to allow you to swim safely. The shores of Lake Kir have been transformed into a small seaside resort with the installation of one hundred and fifty meters of floor, thirty beach cabins and about twenty palm trees. The fine sand spread along the lake completes the seaside look!
