3rd July Belfast to Villeneuve Loubet

The rain came down that heavily all morning that the plane was delayed and such a relief to board for a sunnier climate. The bike came off the plane in Nice in it's soaking wet box and the plan was to taxi to the campsite 4 miles away in Villeneuve loubet. However I was not going to pay the 50 euros the taxi men were looking for thinking I was stuck, so I had to build the bike up outside the airport. After all the checklisting two vital screws for the front carrier were missing and two had to be taken from the back carrier.
It would be 200 miles before these were replaced.
There is a new cycle track from the airport but difficult to follow for the first mile as there are missing sections. Exit from the airport to the first roundabout take a left and keep going straight to the route de bord de la mer a wide cycle track along the seaside full of roller skaters.
The campsite parc des maurettes was easily found but disappointing as there was no restaurant and the pool was closed, but just as well I booked it as it was completely full. I had not a great experience camping here and everything ended in an unorganised heap; it was to take a few nights to organise myself and fine tune the camping experience.
