Mon.19th.Dec.
I've made a conscious decision to do my blog on the day rather than following day. This is mainly because I think I forget what I did the previous day. Is this old age creeping on? Today Janet announced that she wanted to move on, we'd been undecided but I think we both felt that the site we were on was not suitable for Christmas. We told our friends, next door and they said they'd decided that too. We packed up and headed for Carrefours, a shop where Jan had been told she could buy a mysterious gift. Maria had given us the address and we put it into the satnav. We missed it and drove several kilometres past and had to turn around. That is so aggravating, the store has changed names. As we were driving back we saw them driving past us and assumed they had been to the store and done their shopping already. We waved, found the store, did what we had to do and came outside to find their van parked next to ours. I can't tell you how good it made me feel to know that other people get lost too!! We took off south to find the site we'd selected and arrived about 2.30pm about 12 Ks west of Sampier, right on the beach. Found a spot and parked up. Problem with the satellite dish. Shame, it was a terrific spot. Moved with the help of a guy who I assume works on the site. He put us on a pitch, didn't like it. Moved again. It was cold, raining and I was getting fed up. We're plotted up now, not sure I'm altogether happy. It's quite nice here, but quite remote. We need to explore our surroundings tomorrow but I have a feeling we may not have found our ideal Christmas location yet. Maria and Geert are not here, wonder if they have found something better. Chicken for dinner tonight. I think I'm ready for my first whisky of the day. Watch this space.
