Wooly & Patrick get suprise presents (Rucksack,Camera,notebooks) and are told they are going on a mystery trip on a big boat called a Cross Channel Ferry |
Bursting
with excitement, the pals take their seats on the Ferry and take
a 7 hour trip over to France
!!
|
Arriving
at Le Havre on the top deck,
they drove off the ferry and took it in turns driving a route to
Paris, but don't tell the Gendarmes
Shhhhhh...
|
Once
at Paris, they booked into a
Camponile Hotel and nabbed the top bunk, then hit the town to see
the Eiffel Tower and the River
Seine...
|
The
next day they drove down the west coast to La
Rochelle put up the tent and camped, waking early (Ew
!) to visit the old town and beach.....
|
Spending
some time at the old Fort walls.
|
The
next day they moved on to Chataillon Plage
to a nice campsite with a Pirate ship and a Pool !!!

Sunbathing
with Dad and sitting by the pool relaxing after all the hard driving...
|
Posing
for a pic with Sebastian the
Campsites Chef and walking on the local beach...
|
Play
fighting with Patrick in the
tent !
|
Watching
Mum cook stew on the new Trangia...
|
After
spending 5 glorious days in Chataillon
Plage, the Pals hit the road again & find Lacanau
Ocean...
|
Camped
in a Beautiful Pine forest edging the sea, the boys go hunting for
pine cones...
|
.....and
prepare an area for the camp fire.
|
The
next day Wooly & Patrick
visit the Beach and bathe in the glorious sunshine !
|
They
watch the surfers for a bit and then try and decide whether the
swim in the sea or the Pool...
