It&#8217;s windy, and we know the importance of &#8216;wind shadows&#8217;!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It rained again last night.\u00a0Zagan&#8217;s fabulous drop-down bed is a mere two feet from the first thing the raindrops hit since being in freefall all the way from the heavens. When they find said roof in their path, they each let out a little\u00a0patter of indignation. Combined with the noise from their umpteen fellow free-falling drops, this yields a veritable beating drum of irritated rain. In turn, this renders sleep impossible, unless you&#8217;re a snoring dog. Of course, this means little if you can just catch up on kip in the morning, which we did, tottering out of bed at 9am.<\/p>\n<p>Brian and Anne set off about the same time as us this morning, both heading in opposite directions from the Wissant aire. They&#8217;re off to Belgium to stock up on low-cost goodies, but before they left they gave us these scourers. They&#8217;re intended to be popped in any open gas-fall holes in the van, which might otherwise act as a mouse entry point (we&#8217;ve had mice in a previous van, and the clever little blighters are almost impossible to catch). Thanks guys.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18339\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04191.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18339\" class=\"wp-image-18339\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04191.jpg\" alt=\"Anti-mice devices\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04191.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04191-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04191-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04191-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anti-mice devices<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In go-slow mode, we decided to head to this spot\u00a0as it was close, despite Anne pointing out they&#8217;d driven here on their way north and moved on without stopping, as &#8220;it stank of fish&#8221;. Down the N1 we rolled, freebie motorway right up to Bolougne-Sur-Mur (after which the toll starts, boo, hiss!). The countryside rolled along with us, in the main shaved flat by the combines and tractors which still bounce along the lanes.<\/p>\n<p>Half way here we hit an Intermarch\u00e9 supermarket, in need of diesel (or &#8216;gazole&#8217;) and fancying a gander at the goodies we recall from previous trips. The fuel came in at \u20ac1.09 a litre, which is about 81p a litre, sweet (at the time of writing, it&#8217;s about \u00a31.08 a litre in the UK). As our cupboards, fridge and freezer are rammed from the last UK Lidl stop-off, we had to make do with just a few bits and bobs. At La Caisse, the lady gave us a cardboard token and as we examined it in wonder, she explained we could use it to try and win stuff. Popping it into a nearby machine, we lucked out and failed to win anything. Top prize was a car.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04192.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18338\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04192.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04192\" width=\"620\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04192.jpg 791w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04192-300x267.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Past the outskirts of Bolougne, a billboard-high sign proclaimed it to be the biggest seafood-processing plant in the world. About 30 seconds past the sign (OK, a slight exaggeration), Zagan came to halt at the aire barrier. Both of us eyeballed the place. It looked unwelcoming. The cost had gone up from \u20ac3 to \u20ac5 a night. It&#8217;s windy, grey, on the outskirts of town and\u00a0uninspiring. There was more than a slight whiff of fish in our nostrils. Ummmed. Arrred. After a short stand-off with ourselves we coughed up \u20ac7 (120 litres of water cost \u20ac2 around these parts), subsequently finding that we could only actually get water from the &#8216;wrong tap&#8217;, the one used for cleaning out one&#8217;s chemical toilet. This made Ju angry (see below &#8211; see what I mean?), especially\u00a0as we couldn&#8217;t get a hose on it so she got soaked&#8230; A British chap later pointed out you need a special fitting to go on the &#8216;right&#8217; tap to get it to honk out water. Goooddaaammmiittt! We must have seen 100 different types of these things and none have wanted this odd double-ended Hozelock whatsit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04196.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18333\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04196-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04196\" width=\"620\" height=\"827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04196-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04196-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04196.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The town here was blattered by the Allies, blowing up 90% of it and killing hundreds of locals? Why? To make it look like D-Day might land troops up here. Yup, a diversionary tactic ended the lives of all those innocents. We only found this out after wandering about the place, with me whining at how crap it all is, and now I feel a bit bad at my lack of empathy for the place. The north end fronts the processing plants, with an unused hovercraft pad and an array of empty windowed graffiti-covered\u00a0and abandoned buildings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04216.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18332\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04216-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04216\" width=\"620\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04216-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04216-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC04216.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hulking great crude rounded concrete WW2 bunkers encrust the sea-ward face of the town, ugly things and reminders of uglier times.
