Day 30: Finalement!

After being awoken several times during the night by a screaming heffer cow which sounded very much like a very very loud dog had just been brutally hit by a car. This proceeded to make other dogs exclaim some kind of barking comunication making the sound grossly louder. Not to mention the fact my sister insisted on listening to her ipod at a ridiculous volume level through her headphones. My night was generally disturbed. At about seven thirty I was dragged from my bed of nylon sheets and a quilt which felt like carpet to another one of the french's "petit dejuner".

It was much more civilised than the rabble of people in the hotel that we had stayed in the previous night. The table was a already set with various jams and vanilla yoghurt, which is probably one of the nicest types of yoghurt you can get. Following this, a selection of different miniture french breads were served fresh, still warm from the oven.

We finished all this to return to pack up from our hotel to face the time until four o'clock of nothing to do. We decided to go down to a beach. The weather was beautiful, as it had been for past two days. So back in the car we went, I think it was about two hours each way. The minute we got there, bikini went straight on and the sunbathing commenced. My sister and mother went straight into the sea, despite the water being absolutely freezing.

Hours passed and it started to become cooler, and breezier. We decided to head over to the gite, actually arriving on the correct day this time... Once we had unloaded the car, we proceeded straight to the pool. Against the heat of the day, the pool was some how vastly colder than the air. But after being in the car for hours over the past few days the amount of elevation I felt in the water was so relieving.

Not only that, there was duvets on the beds! Night after night of sleeping in a crappy bed with no duvet with a thick coarse blanket and a quilt with the texture of carpet left me feeling tired and agitated, so this made me feel pretty happy.
