Pors Peron to Camping Du Port , Pink Granite Coast.





It had been a late night watching Glastonbury so when this birthday boy opened the Motorhome doors he was shocked to find about a dozen English campers stood outside singing happy birthday. What was even more shocking was from the group a young beautiful woman emerged wearing only the scantiest of bikini bottoms, her voluptuous bosom obscured by a bottle of vintage champagne. As she came close she asked me how old I was and I very nervously replied 67. She then refused to accept this stating that I was a perfect specimen who had the body of a 27yr old. She then moved close to kiss me , handing me the booze. At this point my pulse rate began to soar and I could feel my legs turn to jelly. Then I woke up to hear a snoring Barbara quickly grunt “Happy Birthday” before quickly returning to her snoring. As I moved out of the boudoir I could swear that her snoring began to take on the melody of Happy Birthday…..How Sweet.

We left Pors Peron early just after 8am. It was only a 90 mile trip but it was a trip of many minor roads and I knew that the next site was closed for 3 hours after 12:30. If I said that the journey made me feel like we were going around in circles then it was, because we were, all 72 roundabouts, but we got there eventually. On arrival at Camping du Port on the Pink Granite Coast I again had that uncertain feeling, was it up to our expectations. However Barb went to the reception and booked in, they gave us a pitch with a sea view, in fact that’s an understatement as the waters edge was about 20 metres from the van. The tide was out and the rocks, little coves and islands were all exposed. I couldn’t  say that the rocks and the sand were pink but they did have some sort of pinkish cast to them. To get the full benefits of this magnificent stretch of coast you have to walk it so we set off with temps about 27c and walked for nearly 2 hours on a circular route. Sheer bliss a fab coastal path.
