| Le Crotoy |
We only had a choice of two seafood restaurants due to it being end of season but they Fluffy One didn’t waste any time ordering and tucking into a plate of fruits de mer. A gigantic crab topped off a plate of oysters, huge whelks, pink and grey prawns and langoustines. He made short work of it all but refused to drink any of the bottle of white wine we’d ordered to go with our seafood. I, of course, had to come to the rescue and drink it all with my rather too cheesy cassoulette de mer - shame.
A morning walk dodging dog poo (the only downer about Le Crotoy) was interrupted by Hugo freaking out at someone shooting in the distance so we left early and headed to Watten for the night. It was a short hop to Calais from there for us to get to the Euro tunnel this morning. There is a short mountain walk where we discovered an 18th century windmill and an even older abbey. From Dickie we watched barges float by on the canal. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on Wednesdays so we had to make do with an omelette sandwich - a bit of a step down from the seafood platter.
Tonight we’re parked up in Newhaven overlooking a gigantic pile of recycling which, we presume, will be heading to China some time soon. Home tomorrow.
