A beautiful sunny morning – YEY!!! The first for a few days! Started by a leisurely drive along coast road
from Trebeurden to Perros-Guirec. It is so beautiful, little islands all in the
pink granite are scattered everywhere and little bays and villages with fishing harbours line the coast.
We hit the main road to take us east, one of the
first times we've been on a main road all holiday! Timing worked well for us to
aim for Cora at Dinan/St Malo. We could
see the church at Pleudihen-sur- Rance as we went over the bridge, scaffolding
was still on the steeple!! Feels strange
to be in such a familiar area without actually stopping at Cerilan’s house. Saw some nice sights though like the Rance,
strangely there was a diversion so we had to go down to the Pleudihen turn off
to get onto the road east – so funny!! Bought
lots of nice things at Cora, it is definitely the best supermarket brand in
Franc in my opinion.
Continued along the main road and I snapped a picture
of Le Mont-Saint-Michel as we go past.
We then drove around past Avranches and to a village called Saint-Jean-le-Thomas. It is a quiet village on the
west coast of the peninsular that goes north to Cherbourg. Next to a municipal campsite with about 12
spaces is the aire, it is nicely landscaped.
The problem of our cards not working the machine happened again, an Irish family in a LT31 also couldn’t buy a ticket, she said she’d got one from
the campsite office. Instead of that I managed
again ask a French couple to buy me one!!
I surprised myself really!!
The beach has nice views of the whole bay across
to Le Mont-Saint-Michel from the side we've never seen before, the tide was out again as far as you could see but
the kids enjoyed collecting shells and dead crabs again, they stank.
Did a round trip walk around the village but
there wasn’t a lot there so came back to Flo.
The Irish family have 2 young children and speak Irish to them, they
came over to play with our toys for a bit, the little girl is 3 and is hard
work for her parents!!
Chris did a bbq for tea with garlic lemon and
prawns, delicious. I went down to the
campsite to use the toilet and showers, Chris also filled our 8 litre water
bottle from their tap.
