We spent 2 weeks travelling
around the north of France
with our little car and tent while we waited for Cindy, Brett and Rick to buy a
camper and join us in Europe. After leaving Paris we went to the Loire Valley,
home to some very beautiful chateaus. We found some lovely
little medieval towns explore in particular Bloire and Amboise. Then we heading up to Normandy where we went
to visit Mont St Michel an extraordinary old town set on a small rocky island
only connected by a causeway to the mainland. It is such a beautiful place,
needed to be seen to believe. We also went to the beaches where the D-day
landings took place in the 2nd world war.
We then headed onto Bayeux where the Tapestry
for the Battle of Hastings in 1066 had been made for the illiterate people of
that era to understand what had happened at the time of the battle.
We got to know the supermarkets very well, as we would go and get food everyday
because we couldn't cook anything and didn't have an esky.
We needed to kill a couple
of days before Cindy, Brett and Rick arrived in Europe
with their van.
So we stayed at a little campsite in a town called Jumieges along the Seine
river that leads into Paris,
where we took the opportunity to just relax a lot.
