14th September

A small but significant triumph. We went to see the coastguard who said we could stay for free on the public quay. The man from the marina came by for a chat. 'Who told you you didn't have to pay? Was it the Frenchman?' They obviously try to keep quiet about it. We spent the morning exploring the old town. The afternoon was oppressive and humid. A perfect excuse for a siesta. And so to G&T time and a farewell supper for S&M at a restaurant overlooking the ocean.
