The skies of the Cote d'Azur weep for our departure and continue to mourn the whole way to Corte. The 6 hour ferry trip was shortened considerably by a play area with a crappy princess castle. In my sodden misery I have sought refuge in the arena of traditional Japanese poetry and tentatively offer the following glimpse of my soul in haiku form.
The rain keeps falling
The open road of freedom
Has become a sewer*.
*Note in Ulster vernacular 'sewer' has one syllable thus completing the five syllabic line required by the haiku. For speakers of other dialects, haiku integrity can be maintained by using the alternative last line 'Is now a sewer.'
101 Uses for a Campervan #4 Wetlands area for wildlife
Step 1: Fail to remove Camargue snails from bike trailer prior to placing in van despite finding, and counting, 34 of the one-footed slime generating organisms on Chloe's small bike during same packing activity.
Step 2: Leave the main van door open during a downpour. The seats will become an important marshland habitat drawing the snails towards the fore of the vehicle.
