But here it is, the weather, even if we saw rain on TV, the start of the week was rather good, with moments of beautiful sunshine, going up to 27° during the day, yes, 13 in the morning, and 14, the afternoon !
But things got bad late Wednesday evening.
The residence is 50m from the sea, and the apartment is less than 200m.
We of course heard the wind, passing 100 km/h, then also 150-170....
We were in a small coastal village, "above" Morlais.
Around 3-4, we saw the lights go down, then nothing.
And that's where the little annoyances begin.
First, the coffee.... well, just keep the water in the flask, and system D. Not great, my good....
Then you will quickly understand.
No sewerage, sewage treatment plant at the residence.
Are you starting to see?
No backup group for this station...
And, a person passes, you report the problems, including not flushing the toilet, not taking a shower, etc...
Candy.........
Noon, no hotplate for heating.
Not allowed to go out by car, and even without.... the small town next door is just 10 km away, the shops are closed.
From opkus, in the apartments, the phone doesn't work, text messages don't work either, and there's no internet.
The mediocre internet provided by the residence no longer works, since there is no juice. No TV either...
Everyone's fridges are practically empty, because of the end of their stay.
Well, I go to reception at lunchtime to ask if there are anything planned, and nothing, 500 people without juice...
I asked to see with the town hall, if they could help out the customers, at least a bottle of water, 1 mini sandwich, or at least some biscuits...
I come back 2-3 hours later, nothing.
Night falls, we are in the dark, even the phones have no more juice...
I got the lamp from Ali, for less than €2, and in fact, it lights the room very well; so not in the dark.
20 p.m., still no juice.
We prepare the bulk of the luggage to leave around 5 a.m., despite the prefectural ban....
In fact, not being able to sleep, we left a little before 2 a.m.
The fear of not being able to charge, yes, but, for a VT, the problem remains the same, no juice, no pump!
So, for the first half hour, on the small roads, we drive at 30, and crazy moments, at 50.
Trees, unhurried, were lying quietly on the road. 2 half turns for that.
Another time, cable 1 m from the ground, no wind, we go to 10-20 cm.
Another, half turn....
Another, we take a roundabout in the opposite direction, to be able to pass under a cable...
Not a car to pass in this 1/2 hour....
Finally, we were able to get back to the main roads, and returned home on Friday...
What a mess, this storm.....
