Friday 23/08/19
Another glorious late summer's day in Brittany. We woke up reasonable early (compared to all the other campers) and set off for our morning run / walk (Toni runs and I walk). The mornings are quite cool and the walk along the canal was stunning.

After breakfast we decided to explore the route along the canal a bit further on our bikes and set off towards Malestroit, about 8.5km away. It was a stunning cycle and we got to practice our French along the way - well, only our greeting really: greeting each and every cyclist, walker and fisherman along the way(it's compulsory!). The only part of my French to change is my sing-song 'Bonjour' is now a shorter bark as this is how we are greeted; not sure if it is for general use or only when someone is hurtling past you on a bicycle. We'll have to see.

| Time for coffee and some people watching |

The village of Malestroit is lovely and we had a coffee and some snacks before heading back again. The rest of the day was spent relaxing in the campsite as it slowly filled up with weekend campers.

Another lovely day!
