PART 2 EUROPE

We sailed from Plymouth on Monday night on the Brittany Ferry Amorique, very modern with a clean comfortable cabin, and arrived in Roscoff on a wet Tuesday morning. Our trusty Pajero is loaded down with golf clubs, suitcases, baskets of shoes and additional bedding for that night in the woods that we hope never happens. Brittany is said to be very beautiful but sadly in the rain and mist we did not see a lot, although we had some respite in the medieval city of Quimper and then Vannes. The old parts of these cities could be described as 'crooked Tudor' a mix of wood and plaster buildings painted any color but black & white.

We left our B&B in Conleau on the Gulf of Morbihan driving east through Nantes with a stop in La Roche Bernard, a quaint 14th century village overlooking the river estuary. As we moved inland the weather improved and we zigzgged across the lazy Loire passing the occasional chateau before arriving in Blois.

Today's journey takes us south of Orleans to Sancerre.
