Second Island - Re

Ile de Rey is a smaller island than Oleron and is accessed via an €8 toll bridge from just outside La Rochelle. We stopped at a huge E Leclerc just before the bridge for a  quick steak hache and frites lunch and to buy some fish.
The fish counter/department is as big as our co-op, with every sea food you could image. A huge tank of lobsters, a podium of spider crabs (live of course) and prawns as big as   bananas. Rosemary just bought normal size prawns and some cockles, to go with the leftover sea bass and it turned out very tasty indeed.

We are staying on a beach site called Les Amis de la Plage amongst the pine trees at La Bois Plage-en-Re.  The sea is just over the dunes so we can hear it from our pitch again. It was very warm today and may even be hot tomorrow apparently. I went for a paddle and picked up a few shells and pebbles, much to Rosemary's annoyance cos I have too many already she says.
