Fevriér en France (ii)

Tuesday - the day in the Stones

Carnac is famous for the standing stones.  We had visited in the past, but hasn't had the chance to get up close.  This is not Stonehenge with an entry fee and ropes to stop you getting close. This is Carnac. 3000 stones standing in lines, stretching for miles (or kilometres)

We also saw birds. At Quiberon.

Fevriér en France (i)

Dans le vacation, Madame C et moi sommes allez en France.
Mrs C had a week's holiday, and I had some time left in the holiday year.

We found an Air BnB near Carnac (Brittany) and got a wee deal on the ferry.  

Here are some of our highlights of the first day:

 

Portsmouth from the water

St Malo by fog. Our Ferry is almost visible from here

Pointing the way to Quebec

Breakfast in St Malo

Lunch in the DS3. We are professional picnicers

The beach at the Gite

We sailed into St Malo in a bit of fog, found the town, and went for a walk round. We really need to remember that Europe is closed on Mondays. Eventually I was allowed to stop for breakfast, then we headed on along the coast.  
We had a lovely day working our way down to Carnac in time for a 5 pm check in.  It was getting dark by the time we arrived, but we had time for a quick walk along the beach to admire the sunset before retreating back to the Gite for non-existant wifi, and a DVD.  

It was a lovely day.

Parkrun despite the snow

Junior and I are not really keen on this sort of thing, but we took the chance to run along the Aberdeen sea front on a chilly saturday (9:30 start)

Not our fastest time.
