Day 6 - Saint Malo

A quieter day, today, as the forecast wasn't great and we had some heavy showers first thing. So, we decided to get the bus to Saint Malo and have a proper walk around. We didn't want to leave the bikes locked up for too long yesterday, so we didn't have to worry about that today. 

Fact: French buses are better than buses at home. They turn up, on time, with friendly drivers, are clean and spacious, have electronic screens that you just tap your ticket onto and they're comfortable. And cheap; it cost just €3 each for a return ticket.



After a couple of hours in Saint Malo (once you've seen one crèperie, you've seen them all) we headed back on the bus. 

One power nap later and we popped down to the bar for a cider and an ice cream, before heading back to Beti for steak and chips. 

We're off to Vannes tomorrow,  stopping at Dinan on the way. It's supposed to be a beautiful town, with a castle (naturally) and lots of examples of mediaeval half-timbered houses. 

Also, I have to show you this, it's the best thing I've bought on this trip so far. Don't get too excited, it's a pan with a lid. An anti-climax, I know, but I honestly love it. I forgot to bring a big pan with me, so I picked this up in the supermarket on day 3, after I had to use two pans to make chicken fajitas one night, and it's a game changer. 

My new favourite thing

Small things make a big difference when you're moving around and don't have your usual kit available.

Day 10 - Angers

Image
A late one tonight, folks, as we went to the campsite bar earlier, so everything got pushed back a bit.  The rain didn't materialise today, so we cycled into Angers. Lee had marked a few "points of interest" on his route, mostly churches (churches are to France what castles are to Wales) before we ended up at Château d'Angers.  Yes, another castle. In France "château" is used for anything grand, so it could be a genuinely old castle,  or a posh house from the 18th century. However, Château d'Angers is an actual old one, dating from the 12th century.  So, buckle up for some historical info.... Château d'Angers  The Château was the seat of the Plantaganet family; a royal house which originated from the lands of Anjou in France. The family held the English throne from 1154 to 1485, when Richard III died in battle.  Queen Elizabeth I was related to the Plantagenets. Her father, Henry VIII, was the son of Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward ...

Day 12 - International relations

Image
Question : how many people does it take to get a stuck motorhome off a muddy pitch?  Answer : three Welsh, two Germans and a French man.  Yes, we got stuck in the mud today. We arrived at Chartres campsite but Lee didn't think our electricity lead would reach the unit, so he drove onto another pitch. Then changed his mind, but when he tried to reverse off the pitch Beti, and the mud, had other ideas.  There was a German couple pitching up next to us, so the husband,  Manfred, came to try to help me push the van. No joy, so Lee found some branches to put under the wheels to try to get some traction. Manfred looked very skeptical about this idea, but we gave it a go, with no luck.  Enter a French chap who had just arrived, who found some wire sheeting (probably for the very purpose of getting stuck vans off pitches), and at the same time another lady (who was washing her dishes) said she had some grip mats.  The next thing you know we had an international tea...

Day 13 - Chartres

Image
Back on the bikes this morning. A big loop around the outskirts of Chartres,  then a snack and a coffee on the way back. It's got the point where I need a daily coffee fix now!  This evening we went "out out" in Chartres; it's been our first night out this whole trip. Campsites in France are usually quite out of the way. If you're lucky some will have a bistro on site, but most of them aren't really within walking distance of anything.   After a quick beer at Chez Olive we had a little wander and came across a Mexican style restaurant. "Not French?" I hear you ask. Non. Mostly because Lee's not actually a fan of most French food (mussels, fish, veal, "stinky" cheese). He will eat steak frites but that's quite a touristy dish, so a lot of places don't offer it.  So, Mexican it was. The French aren't  keen on very spicy food, so this could have been disappointing, but it wasn't. Homemade nachos to s...
