Day 2 – Saint Malo to Noirmoutier

I wish we knew what the music Brittney ferries play to wake you up in the morning! I’m sure it wouldn’t be the same at 0442hrs for a swimming wake up but the boys really love waking up to it.

We got some breakfast in the cafe and stew was convinced we were still outside the harbour… so we took our time… and there was barely anyone left… and the I realised that we were in fact docked and in fact by the time we got back to the garage there were only a handful of cars on our level! Oops!

The new engine set up took a bit of getting used to and certainly wasn’t as powerful on the hills but good old Kev has a plan for that. We made it over the Nantes bridge with ease (one of my best bridges! Massively high and industrial.)

We headed along the road and saw an open supermarket for an Emergancy beer stop! It’s a public holiday here so shops are closed, so it was a result! The rest of the journey was very smooth and we arrived at the site and set up in the sunshine.

A trip to the beach for some bat and ball, a swim in the sea and Fraser found a star fish!

After showers Fraser had a test of fishing…. Now I’m sitting with a glass of wine, with a bbq on the go and looking forward to a good sleep and a lazy day tomorrow as a storm passes through.
