It was still windy this morning and overcast though we had no rain and it was reasonably warm out of the wind.
We headed east today, in the northern part of Brittany and our planned visit to the Chateau de Kerjean fell through when we discovered that opening time was not until 2.00pm, too long for us to hang around.
Our first stop was in the rather pleasant town of Cleder where we had coffee in a bar/tabac, followed by a short stroll around the town, watching a couple of gardeners planting new flowers in the church garden and the vacuum cleaner man hoovering the paths.
Then we went on to St Pol de Leon which was our first port of call 6 weeks ago when we first arrived in France. This time we drove down to the port and though the wind was still blowing, the sun had come out making our whole world much brighter! We climbed the Rocher Ste Anne for magnificent views
and walked through the park back to the van, then visited the beach at Carantec before taking the scenic route south along the Bay of Morlaix.
In Morlaix, we made a quick visit to the patisserie where we had bought lunch on our first day and again bought a filled roll, then made a u-turn to head north along the other side of the bay, stopping at Dourduff where we sat on a stone wall, due to the absence of a picnic table or bench, and ate our roll.
Next stop was at the 'Great Cairn of Barnenez', the largest mausoleum in Europe, built between 4,500 and 3,900 B.C., 75 metres long and 28 metres wide and features eleven burial chambers.
It's very relaxing.
