I woke up a bit earlier than Darren today, so I thought I'd go take the washing and get it started. I walked down and worked out how to use the machines (all the instructions are in French!) then sat down and read a book on the iPad. Not much to talk about there except that it was damn hot! Darren rocked up about 20 minutes before the drying was finished and we just hung out and waited. Finally, we had clean, dry clothes and we headed back to the hotel to drop th...

Today we had a big sleep in, then packed up our washing and went out to look for a laundromat. What we didn't take into account was that it was a Sunday and everything was closed... And not only closed, but it seemed the whole area was boarded up for good! So we just kept walking and came up to Place de la Victoire, where we stopped at a restaurant for some lunch. It was a bit of a fancy looking place and the prices were a little steep but we were still sick and ...

Today we stayed in bed all day. Like, all day. We hadn't given ourselves a proper chance to get better yet, so we just stayed in bed and rested.

After lunch we went to the tourist info centre and got some brochures for wine tours and that kind of thing, then went back to the hotel fo...

We woke up this morning after a few hours sleep, packed our bags, checked out and walked down the street to the bus stop, where we waited for a bit for the bus. We bought our ticket to Auray (only €2 each, bargain!) and got on the bus. When we got into Auray, we had about a 2 hour wait until the train, so we sat down at a cafe for a bit and shared a green mint tea (after an interesting conversation trying to find a word for herbal tea!) I went across the ro...
