Iberian Adventure - Part 16

Image
Agon-Countainville is a very typical Normandy seaside town. Pleasant enough, but despite a new promenade and investment in Sports facilities is a bit tired looking. The beach is also a bit glum. It is sandy and clean, but backed by a huge stone seawall, and groynes every 100 metres. However, there were some hardy souls swimming in it. The Municipal campspite, however, should be held up as an example on how to welcome visitors. For only ten Euros a night you get electric hookup, clean toilets and showers,  huge plots that are very well maintained, and friendly staff. All only a ten minute walk to the town. Our last evening meals was a seafood feast - oysters, whelks, mussels and also some leg of lamb. Delicious. I'm writing this whilst waiting to board the ferry to Poole, and should be there later this evening. It's been a great trip, thoroughly enjoyable, and with good company from Wallace.
