We left Nantes today, eventually! We went shopping first at ‘leclerc’ supermarket, got the shopping done and went for something to eat, and a place to feed Katie…well we got a bit carried away with this restaurant, it was lovely, three courses later and full bellies we were on our way.
So, on route to St. Malo we (well I) decided to have a quick visit to Dinan , which was on the way anyway.
Dinan is a lovely place, very olde. See picts.
I had been before when I was younger. I have always remembered having a slice of pizza from this shop which was lovely, so I thought I might see if the place was still there…’fraid not, it’s a bank now!!
Oh well, back down the ‘vertical cobbled street’ where we (Sandra) had eyed a cake shop, the kind lady even heated young Katies bottle up!!
All’s well, we’re booked on the 10pm ferry from Roscoff on Wednesday night. Will so some site seeing before then.
One noticeable thing…..the RAIN! We haven’t had rain 4 weeks and the temperature isn’t quite what we’re used to!! J
Breaking us in gently for the UK….Boooo!
(Sandra) Yes I had forgotten about how awful the wind and rain together is. I’ve been so busy moaning about this death trap we are travelling in that I’ve not appreciated how lovely the weather down South is. You know I would even consider living half in warm country and half back home (only half the year though!). Ian’s trying to find a way of making a living so we could look into this possibility. But we know where Ian’s hair brained ideas leads us!!! So I guess it’s back to setting up yet another “lazy dayz” till we have this brain wave.
Ian thinks he’s really cool now because he can have full conversations in French. It’s amazing how fluent his French is when he needs tobacco or internet connection . I now know that microwave is “micro-on” and if you wave Katie’s bottle in their face, and say this, they get me!!
Fiona you were right, Dinan is beautiful, and you were right to tell us to park the beast outside the village. Tiny streets, mostly up hill. Thank the lord sat nav jean has passed away or she’d have had us driving up all sorts.
Oh I liked the big shopping centre we were in today. The lunch was yummy. Not having facilities to cook makes you really appreciate your grub. So we are off to another picturesque village tomorrow. Hope the weather improves…I am on my hols after all xxx
