Badminton and bathcaps! - Day 30

(English version below)

Vi havde kørt nok bil for et par dage, så der var mest stemning for at blive hjemme, hvilket vi gjorde. Kenneth var hungrende efter en tur på en golfbane, men blev desværre noget snydt da han kom ud til at ikke færdigt sted, hvor der kun var 7 åbne huller. Det gad han ikke, men han fik prøvet træningsanlægget og var alligevel meget godt tilfreds, da han kom retur. Vi andre havde fundet badmintonnet og ketchere frem, da der er nogle tomme pladser omkring os og derfor god plads til den slags udfoldelser. Det var meget varmit så vi spillede i 3 set med indbyggede is og vandpauser.

Da Kenneth kom retur måtte vi bade lidt og fik vist ikke solgt stranden så godt, selvom vandet var væsentligt roligere, så de ville gerne en tur i poolen. Og meget gerne i butikken når den åbnede kl 17 for at købe nogle nye dykkerbriller. En måneds badning var hvad de gamle kunne holde til. Til gengæld er det et helt særligt syn med alle de badehætter, samt livreddere der konstant fløjter og nogle af de unge mennesker der tager deres af, hver gang de kigger væk.

Efter aftensmaden havde vi snakket om at gå på opdagelse på pladsen, da vi endnu ikke har fundet bl.a boldbaner og vi ville også gerne gå lidt langs stranden, men der var udsolgt, så det blev til hjemmehygge og relativt tidligt i seng for ungerne. Vi ville gerne have set VingegAars kører over målstregen i Paris, men her er så dårlig dækning at det ikke kunne lade sig gøre. Tilgengæld vandt Sara for første gang aftenens backgammon duel - det er jo også lige vigtigt at notere :-)

We had driven enough for a couple of days, so the mood was mostly to stay at home, which we did. Kenneth was craving a round of golf but unfortunately got a bit deceived when he arrived at an unfinished course where only 7 holes were open. He wasn't up for it, but he tried out the practice facility instead and was quite satisfied when he returned.

The rest of us had set up the badminton net and grabbed our rackets since there were some empty spaces around us, allowing plenty of room for such activities. It was scorching hot, so we played in 3 sets with built-in ice cream and water breaks.

When Kenneth returned, we took a quick dip, but surprisingly, we couldn't sell the beach that well even though the water was much calmer. So, they wanted to head to the pool. And they really wanted to go to the store when it opened at 5 PM to buy new diving goggles. Apparently, a month of swimming was all those old goggles could handle. On the other hand, it's quite a sight with all those swimming caps and lifeguards constantly blowing their whistles, and some of the young folks taking them off every time they look away.

After dinner, we had planned to explore the campsite since we still haven't found the sports fields and also wanted to take a stroll along the beach. But unfortunately, there was no energy left, so we ended up staying in and having a cozy evening, with the kids going to bed relatively early. We would have liked to watch the final stage of the Tour de France, where Vingegaard crossed the finish line in Paris, but the reception here is so bad, that it wasn't possible. However, on a brighter note, Sara won the evening's backgammon duel for the first time - and that's certainly worth mentioning!
