Site for Sore Eyes

Up at 6.15. Dark. We're really noticing the days shortening now and it's getting much cooler at either end of the day.
Packed and left just before 8.
Set off on the road towards Cassis (very busy), through Bandol and on to La Ciotat where we stopped after 20k or so for breakfast and to ring sites.
Sue started with Cassis, and this time they said if we were there by 12 we should be ok.
We pushed on and reached the site by 10.50, via some evil hill climbs. One climb out of La Ciotat looked like a definite downhill but our legs and the GPS confirmed it was a 4-6% climb. Really weird for the illusion to last for so long.
The site turned out to have loads of room and still had by late afternoon.
Walked down into the town, which is very smart and generally very attractive and decided that we'll go for a boat trip round the Callanques (weather permitting) rather than walk. We reckon we'll see more and our shoes are not really up to rough trekking.
Slogged back up the hill via Super U for chicken to go with site shop chips.


I'm still walking round with runny eyes. No lenses today so hopefully they'll be better tomorrow. Apparently it was a good look for me to be walking around crying with a blob of strawberry ice-cream stuck on my chin.
