Day 9 – Port du Collet to Sables-D’Olonne

Somehow the mosquitoes managed to get me on my wrist, knee and ankle in the night. Ive never seen bites come up like that before (Ive included a picture of my arm). I was really cold in the night too so hardly slept. Woke up to another gorgeous day.

It seems to be taking me too long to pack everything away. I think it’s because I have to take everything out as opposed to unpacking just what i need. Also, I’ve noticed my liquid fuel (Coleman Fluid/White Gas) is going down quite quickly and I haven’t seen anywhere to buy any.

Was just a short 60 miles to Sables-D’Olonne which went quite uneventfully. Was going to attempt a boulangerie crawl but gave up after my second croissant.

Staying in a 4 start campsite with a pool. As today was supposed to be my second rest day I might have it around the pool tomorrow instead. This place has hot showers too. Damn it, give them an extra star!!
