France - a dodgy start

What a start to the French trip. We arrive at Portsmouth to be told that the French fishermen are blockading Cherbourg (where we are going), do you want to go to St. Malo? We didn't have a choice so instead of a 5 hour crossing it was 9 hours and put us 100 miles and 2 days ahead of schedule.
Here we are leaving Portsmouth, on a Condor Ferry, in the gloom.

The first main campsite we stayed at was Les Brunelles, Longville-sur-Mer. It had all mod cons many of them new and a super swimming pool complex.

This is the reception area.


The pool complex.


The beaches in this area go on for miles so they are never crowded.


This is the harbour of Jard-sur-Mer a small seaside town close to the campsite.
