Brittany - DAY 11 - sun, sea, beach and reading

a day at the beach

Lazy Sunday 5 August 2018: after a coffee at the bakery around the corner of our hotel we visited the beach of Goas Lagorn. When arriving at the beach there was a sea fog drifting in, however that was burned away rapidly by the fierce sun. 

The rocks at the beach gave shade until about 2 pm, the water was super, not so cold as in Locquirec and I finished my ebook 😬

drinks at the Beach bar on top of the hill overlooking the sea.

When we asked if we could order a salad, the answer of the waiter was: 'no sorry, all tables are reserved for this evening. You will have to make a reservation 2 days in advance. Arghhh, it's definitely holiday season here.

Tomorrow we will leave Lannion and move on to our last 'home' for 2 nites in Brittany at Ploubazlanec. 

Brittany 2018 - DAY 09 - moving on to another 'home

the pink granite coast

Friday, 3 August 2018: moving on

Today we enjoyed our last breakfast at Hotel du Port Locquirec, where we have stayed for 4 nites. We loved this place and for sure will miss the relaxing atmosphere, the comfy bed, modern bathroom, great food and ditto location AND of course our super view from our window.

Today we will explore the area and the pink granite coastal area before checking into our new 'home for 3 nites'.

At the bird sanctuary of Ile Grande near Trebeurden there are lots of beautiful white stones near the sea. We couldn't resist to both make a 'tower' 😏

Moving on to the pink granite coast of the peninsula Ile Renote, where we admired great rock formations as well as lovely beaches and walked the trail around the island. 

AND made lots of photos. Of course Peter couldn't resist climbing the rocks. He wasn't the only one.

When returning after our walk, there was a fog coming from the sea that made us forget our initial plan to go for a swim: the wind was far too cold. Instead we  had drinks overlooking the harbour at Ploumanach.

Afterwards we drove to the Cerise hotel in Lannion, our next 'home for 3 nites', which is far less fancy as the Port hotel, we left this morning. Oh well the beds are good and we have a fridge at the room.

We went exploring Lannion, which is a larger town with a regional function. There's even a small airport here.

the old houses

not Mammie, but still...

Our smart phones tell us it's 23 C here, Mmm, when walking in the sun it sure feels a lot warmer. Sooo time for a beer.
