We say goodbye to Clive and Theresa and leave home at 15:10 Traffic is not too busy although there are showers and drizzle but for which Glyn Valley might have been pretty in its autumn colours. We get to Saltash services before dark and loiter for a couple of hours, then visit Waitrose before driving the last few miles to Plymouth ferryport. As we arrive the last vehicle for the overnight ferry is checking in, meaning we can park at the back of the embarkatio...

A bright and sunny morning greets us for our last full day in France for this trip. The bay is full of water and the drains beside the van do their own impression of the Zadar sea organ as the ripples slosh in and out. There is a small altercation between the French owner of the van next to us and the German who has parked too close to him while he waits for the service point. Frau Grumpy moans and shouts but they move anyway. Late morning we slop out for the...

Ever so peaceful here beside the apple trees. Before leaving we buy a couple more bottles of cidre as we enjoyed it so much last night Then it's a twenty minute drive, crossing the big bridge with Morlaix to the south, and around to St Pol de Leon.

The walk into town is e...

All we have planned is a gentle drive around the pink granite coast. We did the same last year, it's a pleasant drive with a good bit of co...

Last year we drove through Treguier and stopped for a short while for Ali to walk into town a see what it was like. She was so taken we promised to vist properly at our next chance, so that's the plan for today. We leave the Passion around 11:30 and just over an hour later we are parking in the Port du Bois aire among ten or so other vans. It's a 5 minute walk in 22C sunshine up to the town square where the traders are just packing away the market, but given a...
