Started out in Brittany, staying in a lovely Gite (http://www.brittanyholidaycottage.com) It is owned and run by my fellow traveller's son, Ian Haycox, and I can thoroughly recommend it for a holiday!

| Two views of St Marlo city walls |
The Ferry docked at St Marlo, an old walled city. After a rather bumpy crossing, and little sleep, we still had enough energy and enthusiasm to explore the city and its backstreets, as well as the beach. Showery weather - but breaks in the clouds gave some nice light.

| Rainbow after a shower! |
 |
| Digging for worms on the beach - just like they do in England! |
 |
| Lady in red |
People are just so obliging! I spotted this lady in a red coat approaching with her friend and thought she was just what I needed for foreground interest! My French is less than schoolgirl - and her English was non-existent! However, her friend had a smattering of English - so between us, I got the message across, and they very sweetly "modelled" for me!

| Pink umbrella |
I waited some time by this lovely bit of graffiti in the backstreets of St Marlo, hoping someone would walk by (to add a bit of interest, you understand!) Then I spied this young girl folding up her umbrella! Just the job! My luck held, as she was English, and quite happy to parade past the graffiti for me!! She approved of the end result - so we were both happy!
That's it for this time; loads more to come! Try and do some more tomorrow!
