Brittany: Another sundown






These are pictures from the last night we spent in Brittany. It was sad to leave, it is such a calm, beautiful place.

Brittany: Fruits de Mer



This is where I ate dinner (the place on the far right)...



...and this is what I ate. Have you ever seen anything like it?




In France, you have to work for your food. They give you a nutcracker and you get your hands really dirty trying to break into all those thick hard shells to find food within.

The best was the crab, but you have to be careful because they leave its weird grey mushy brain bits in and they are just lurking there if your not careful. The crabs arms and legs are the safest bet.

Brittany: Sundown at the beach







I took these after dinner one night, on the windy beach where children were still playing and men had come down with their fishing rods. The light was just as it looks in the pictures, bright pink and soft blue, and the air was cool and salty.

Road trip: Ferry to France
















These are some pictures from the ferry to France (Plymouth to Roscof) which I caught with my family on Thursday. It was a very nice ferry and I ate an okay Salad Nicoise and slept while the waves rocked the boat gently. The weather on deck was magnificent, and the light was so bright.
