(46km)

Last night I had a couple of beer and went to the tent for sleep late. Just as I was falling asleep it started raining and then the strong wind came and even more rain. Luckily my tent managed to hold strong and the kept the water out but not the noise. I couldn’t fall asleep until it all finished which was around 4am. This morning I woke up late and very tired. Not a good start.

I left the camp site very grumpy and started my way to the forest of Coubre. Ten kilometers on the way, I realized I took the wrong road when I started. I didn’t want to go all the way back, but I tried to find another way and at least see part of the forest. I got lost again and again, got very annoyed and gave up as it was already lunch time. I decided to just go to the next city which was Royan.

While trying to find my way, part of the port in Tremblade

On the way, I did see small parts of the forrest by the sea, which was probable just a small sample of what I missed.

After such a bad  morning, I wasn’t in the mood for more cycling, so I though I’ll call it an early day, get some food and good rest  and make a new start tomorrow.
