Fouras
Another camping car park, this time with showers and toilets. We chose this location because it was right at the beach and not to far to the village. When we arrived we didn’t do much on account of the heat, but when we checked the beach it was practically deserted, strange? The tide was fully out, high tide at 21:45. We rode into town in the evening and had an expensive ice cream on the beach. We decided to go to the beach in the morning at around 10:00. So down to the beach, set up and into the water. But it was only possible to go knee deep before you were walking in mud. So had to make do with a sit-down at the edge. Bit of a fail. However we had a nice shower and sat about under the shade of the tree. We planned to go into town about 17:00 and have a swim there. The town was similar, dictated by the tide. However, and we were right beside this last night, but it must have been covered by the tide. There is an outdoor pool that holds water when the tide is out. The beach was packed and we enjoyed a lovely swim just at the end of the heat of the day. John walked the short distance and brought back two pizzas and we enjoyed them on a bench at the sea front. We cycled home and packed up the bikes we will decide where to go in the morning. We found the good spot a little late, there is a lesson there for us.
