I have kept a record of all the money I have spent on this holiday, including airfares, insurances, car hire etc right down to the shuttle bus to the airport in Brisbane. All money spent while away came off my travel card so an easy record there.... Read more >

Came in to Paris by fast train from St Malo this morning. Total travel time of 4 hours! Didn't really get a feel for how fast we were going until another shorter train past on the opposing track. Just a blurr a blip of noise and pop ... Read more >

We've dropped off the car, checked into our hotel for the night and had a wander around the old walled town of St Malo.
Couldn't really find anything to catch my interest. If it wasn't lots of tourists it was lots of fumey traffic. ... Read more >

A late start today. Breakfast wasn't available until after 8.30am and after chatting with the French Canadians, who are also staying here, it was probably 10am before we got away. We went straight to St Malo and collected our train tickets ... Read more >

Yeah for Maccas. Our first visit to one while on holiday. Free WIFI, that works, clean toilets and here in France hardly any customers. Now I know why we seldom see a fat french person. They drink a lot and eat lots of bread ... Read more >

Cold, wet and then finally sunny all in one day. Even some wind. No longer the still days and balmy nights we experienced at Gouarec.
Today was the first day, since leaving the gite, that we haven't had to find a bed for the night:... Read more >

Finally back to the coast. Lots of pretty houses, and rocky shoreline. The weather is superb. Not a breathe of wind.
We have found ourselves a B &B for the next two nights. Yeah!!! Three more nights accommodation ... Read more >

Woke this morning to a misty day. Still warm, although Janice would disagree. I think she's got use to Longreach temperatures.
We originally had the idea of heading up into the top western corner of Brittany to do another ... Read more >

Yesterday was a bit of a lazy day in Pontivy, so we both decided to take the opportunity to get our hair cut. 24€ each for wash, cut and dry. We both came away happy with our new do's:-)
On our last night in Gouarec we decided ... Read more >

Today we opted for plan B. The car. We wanted to visit a few of the local towns and castles before we leave tomorrow. We're in Pontivy. We visited here a few days ago to sort out a few issues with the car. I wasn't too impressed ... Read more >

Today we decided to take the plunge and do a longer but flatish ride. 45km return trip to Mael-Carhaix. Road and canal. The brochure said the trip back along the canal was 25km. It felt more like 35km, judging by how our bodies ... Read more >

I apologise for some of the photos. Upside down, sideways. The rotate function on this beast has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes when I think it hasn't worked it has?!! It's morning ... Read more >

I should mention the car. A VW Golf auto diesel. We picked it up from Dinard airport. Thank goodness it was a sunny day. The scratches and bumps were noted on the defect schedule but not the huge star crack in the windscreen or ... Read more >

Sunday - Our first full day in Gouarec. We cycled along the canal to the town of Bon Repos. Only 10 km return but a good sojourn in which to try out the bikes. They are smooth to ride - well maintained. Sunday markets were in ... Read more >

Gee we could tell these B&B houses a thing or two. What is it with showers! At Rogers we had to run around in the shower to get wet, so we both postponed our hair washing day until this morning. Well this morning the shower went ... Read more >

Last night we burned the midnight oil talking to Roger our B&B host. He's only had the hotel for six weeks. He bought it at auction in a slightly run down condition. The prevous owners had it full of clutter and didn't even bother ... Read more >

One thing I noticed yesterday, and forgot to comment on, was the appearance of the ubiquitous green landrover. We have seen quite a lot of them on the roads in the past couple of days, driven by ye ole farmer.
We spent all of today in the old ... Read more >

Internet connection is poor in our current B & B so this will be short and sweet. Yesterday the weather packed in, although not as badly as predicted. We ended up doing a lot of driving which has got us just south of York in a small town ... Read more >

We had a brief tour of Burnham-on-Sea just out from Highbridge. Essentially, to get a decent map of the UK so as to make Janices navigation easier. Tide was out, a long way, and many small boats were high and dry on the sand. The beach ... Read more >
