Montreuil....mmmm

After two relaxed but very rainy nights in Wissant, we headed south to Montreuil.  It used to be called Montreuil sur mer, but the estuary dried up years ago so I guess that’s why they dropped it.  Although judging from the amount of rain we’ve had, I wouldn’t be surprised if it filled up again soon!

Montreuil was fairly uninspiring; but admittedly the rain didn’t really help form a great impression.  There is a citadel, which although impressive, has seen better days, but we took the opportunity when the rain eventually stopped, to take Powell for a wander around the town walls.

Unfortunately, when we got back to Dora, we discovered we have a leak; not exactly what you would expect from a practically brand new motorhome...it would appear that the lovely workmen at Brownhills didn’t correctly seal the crevice of a hole they drilled in the roof to get the solar panel cable through.  We now have to put a pot there every time it rains.  As soon as it’s dry enough, Pete will do a proper job and make the hole waterproof.  We hope the rain doesn't last too much longer.

Not much more to report from Montreuil.

We had a chilled evening as always and woke the next morning to the sound of noisy French people having a conference outside...at least the stopover was free...
