Brittany 2018 - DAY 05

arrived in Port de Locquirec in Brittany; our home for the next 4 nites 

Monday, 30 July 2018; travelling to our next destination
Leaving James at the chateau šŸ˜­ where we felt really at home. James gave us hard copies of the photos he made of us in the dining room, as well as a plastified photo of the chateau lay out. Sooo kind. 

photo which James made of us and sent us by email. We are sitting in the room where the war reporters used to be in WW II (see black/white picture on the wall)

As we travel the exploring way, we stopped after one hour at Hambye Abbey. What a lovely zen place this former abbey, situated in the middle of nature is; restored with great taste. We both loved it.
Some photos:

Around 6 pm we arrived at our new home for 4 nights; the Hotel du Port at Locquirec. This is a totally different place/surroundings than the past 4 days. The room is not as large, but very modern AND with a very comfy bed and bath room. Moreover, we have a balcony with a view on the port.

We decided to have dinner at the restaurant of our hotel. To our surprise it was superb, the best we had until now.


Finally chips after all these days of cold turkey ;-)

Tomorrow we will have a day of leisure. So no blogging I guess.
