Day 3, Giverny

Left Long aire early sadly reception still closed and no signs if life so free stop, about what it is worth.

Stopped to purchase a couple of croissants, then stopped at a Autoroute Aire for breakfast. Decided to head to Neufchatel en Bray supermarket as virtually on the way, French social distancing non existent not impressed at all. Lelcerc and Lidl.

Cracked onto Giverny arrived about 13:35 had a quick snack and then headed to the Giverny Impressionist Musee, they had an exhibition of American Impressionism the Hudson River school. Educational and interesting but some crap amongst some great art.

Decided to stop the night and move on tomorrow, the aire is free, behind the coach park, no facilities.

Lovely weekend, great weather and good people.

Tarifa, lunch stop

Stop right on the beach, sandy rocky ground , muddy where wet. Lots of vans parked up cannot tell if her for day only. Overnight stop across the road.

@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/89147/Picnic side on the opposite side of the road towards the hotel. Lot of trees to hide behind and underneath. Prohibited during night, didnt have any problem though. Parking-maid asked us to leave at around 10am and pay the one Euro parking fee.
150m to the beach.

great spot to explore tarifa at night and coming back by taxi (8-10€)
5km walking distance via beach to Tarifa. Keep an eye on the tides as there is a river flowing across and it may gets unpassable at high tide.
Fresh water was not working.#prettyPhoto
