Day 10 Belle Riviere to Les Moutiers about 60km (aka too far!!!)

Woke up to find two thefts had occurred. Teabags routed out of the food bag, though tossed aside, even the magpies realise that even though the box says Tetleys, they are not really and more disturbingly my favourite chami, nice cerise ones, from the line!!! Luckily they did leave my cycling gear etc, which makes me come to conclusion there was a slightly inappropriate motive behind the theft :/ Anyway after the shock, packed up and headed off for what was a bit of a bland ride. Whether in the middle of France or  the middle of anywhere cycling through a major city is much the same, an endurance test, though there is a nice side to nantes i am sure, then through a rather large industrial estate. The nice thing was the lovely jasmine like smell that pervaded  the air, though i think it was from blossom on the trees. Past Nantes we did see a property with river views, needing renovation but thought against it (photo below) We then crossed the river on a ferry and headed towards  the west coast rather than keeping to the cycle route. A hot 35km brought us to  Le Metiers and after booking into L'Hermitage camp site (pretty steep at 20euro) we realised that camping in the dunes near to an estuary was not a good idea. Sand flies abounded, and the bay reminded us very much of our home town with the sea in the distance. The night was an interesting one as we attempted to sleep accompanied by a present day Charles asnevour (he was really good) then at 11 a firework display which did feel right over our tent and  the worst thing, europop disco until midnight. However once all ended slept very well.
