Hotel aux Tamaris Roscoff

... is Steph’s family (Steph and Dillany who we visited in Ireland). I am very pleased to be here and meeting some new people. The immersion into French culture and language is one both of us have been longing for - even though it is quite foreign and a little scary not understanding at times. But the family is wonderful and consist of Mama (Steph’s mom), Papa (Steph’s Dad), and Mami (Steph’s Grandma).

... that day that turned into such a massacre. The American cemetery has more than 10,000 soldiers buried there and is a beautiful park-like setting right bordering on cliffs of the beach. All the small towns we went through were somehow damaged or totally destroyed by the war which was something the tour guide was continually pointing out .. even with all the beautiful structures you can not help but think how much more fabulous it must have been before the war.

... many times--especially at dinner parties--in that engaging way he tells them, preaches and teaches, talks in his sleep (just kidding on that one).

After last night I got up quiet late and we went Josh and I went to Christophe to copy some old French movies on DVDs for me to take back home at the end of the trip but we run into a trap as I was told we were expected to have lunch with them. So I went back to the hotel to ...

After a restful night I decided to go and do the washing duty as marg was still under the weather and Josh was not feeling well either so it was as well. As soon as I was done I swinged by the local fast food to bring home lunch so we could seat down and have something to eat while we watched the game. Australia v France... it was a ...

This morning after breakfast we were going back to our room when someone was behind me and it was Christophe.... he really has not changed we had a long chat and as we both had thing to do we decided to have a drink tomorrow night before going for diner. I went back to the room and we took the road to the Pointe du Raz.... no visit in Brittany would be complete without a visit to the Pointe du Raz. There it has changed as well, all the shaggy ...

After packing the car we went on the port for the "petit dejeuner" and we took the tourist drive toward Brest to be closer to my friends. We found a hotel called Oceania with a swimming pool (do not get excited as it is only 3ft deep) design for English tourist in mind. But the rooms were nice and large so all in all not a bad choice but for the location.... the local industrial estate. Anyway ...

... their car had broken down. when we finally got on board, we found our way to our room...or slit in the wall where we were staying. there was hardly enough room to turn around in there and you had to shower over the toilet almost, but alas, it was great to have a room and it was such a fun experience. it was cleaner than some of the other places we stayed at so there's nothing to complain about! we ditched our stuff and headed back up to ...

... games. The ferry not so busy and I explored the lower decks. I unfurled my roll mat on the floor and slept soundly. Rachel kept awake listen to a chorus snoring and diagnosed at lest 4 cases of sleep apnoea! My flatmate, Karen deciding if shes is coming.. gonna have to lose the PJs if you do ;) Deciding what to take - and what not to is the biggest dilemma. It clearly can make you mad ...

2nd Step, we arrived at Roscoff in Britany & ready to check-in into the Ferry but we a bit early. So we went to a local bar near the harbour & had a bite to eat, maybe the last good one (as it said in France that the bristish food can be limited... we thought) Evening & time to leave our dear French soil & take position in the ferry boat that will take us away to Plymouth, Devon. 2éme étape, on ait arrivé á Roscoff en ...
