Grey morning again and then whilst we were having
breakfast it drizzled – a strange pattern of rain each early morning but
brilliant blue skies by afternoon and evening! Had to change to petrol after
about 40min drive, it’s only the 3rd time in 3 weeks, since we've
been here we've used ¾ tank of petrol total.
We've struggled to find LPG again today, must be because it’s the
north.
Arrived at a village called
Trebeuden, a small village at the start of the Pink Granite Coast. It has a large aire adjacent to a coarse
sandy beach with lots of little island rocks making it a beautiful natural
harbour. The kids played on the sand and
because the tide was out we walked out about 1 mile across flats that were
about 1ft deep but had no waves at all. Loads
of shells, rock pools and crabs which we collected – looked like walking on the
seabed itself. Great afternoon playing
boules, tennis, football and kids dug a massive channel in the sand! Absolutely beautiful!!!
Come back to Flo for spaghetti – should have gone
to the shop today. Evan reminded us we
had Kougan Aman in the cupboard, it is a Breton butter cake, it was so nice to
be reminded of this delicious taste of Brittany. Will buy some more take home to people.
No toilet facilities at this aire although book
said there would be. We parked at the back of
this aire so we got evening sun which was really appreciated as the wind in the
shade was cold – Chris lit a fire log for a bit of warmth. Parked next to us was a Dutch 1960s/70s big
Mercedes van (could have been a 5080), it looked great! Chatted to the couple in the evening, they
were so friendly. We recommended aires
and discussed holidays in Holland and the UK.
We have really loved this aspect of the holiday, people want to chat to
us and have been so friendly. We've been
really surprised and blessed by so many people this holiday.
Chris is really happy again now as his radio is
picking up Talksport and Radio 5 again!!
Hes been listening to cricket and heard England win, which has pleased
him very much. The news says that there
will be a meteorite shower tonight but we were too tired to stay up to watch
it!
