St Malo to Guernsey - 12 November 2018

Although the weather was deteriorating during the evening Condor Ferries sailed on time from St Malo to take us home to Guernsey. Apart from a few moments around Corbiere in Jersey the voyage was pretty good considering. Drove Dave home in the dark for the first time, but now safely parked up in t

Dol de Bretagne - 11 November 2018

Long lie in this morning as the rain was coming down. Our thoughts were there at 1100 as most of Europe were. Had a walk around the quarry just behind the Aire. Decided to have a Sunday drive to Dol this afternoon as the sun was out for a while.

Fougères - 10 November 2018

Decided on Fougères for today to do some sightseeing. Had a walk around the town before the castle opened for the afternoon. Well worth the €8.50 entrance with lots of video and audio to educate us about the history.

A lovely drive along the Loire to Leclerc at Saumur for food and presents. We were going to a small Aire described as having the best river view in France, only to be thwarted by roadworks just a 100m from our destination across a bridge. Ended up at Daon, further up said river.

Chouzé-sur-Loire - 8 November 2018

No rain today, hurrah. Tintin drove 2 1/2 hours to Chouzé-sur-Loire, quiet little village close to the banks of the Loire. Chilly bike ride on lanes and muddy tracks for some exercise. Lots of animals to see along the way.
