Well, we are back!
Got back from France late Saturday night and boy was I happy to see my bed.
It rained for most of the holiday which turned our camping trip into a nightmare and the whole holiday ended up costing a fortune because we stayed in hotels for some of it. we did get a few sunny days and we had a ball but I will never ever camp again, I have discovered camping in a tent is just not for me anymore, we should have gone in a mobile home or something but tent+rain+child do not make for a relaxing holiday!
Anyway, Liam enjoyed it so thats all that really matters. It was all one big adventure to him.He tried lots of different foods which we were delighted about and he spoke French a lot which was great. I really enjoyed a place called Perros Guirec which is in Brittany and we spent our last few days there, we have friends that have just moved there also. The had these little electric boats that you could get into and sail around on this big lake, Liam loved this. There were some beautiful beaches there too and yummy restaurants. I am so bloated from all the bread and croissants!! It was a bit pricey I have to say to eat out etc but the desserts were to die for.
The boat itself was a pleasure, we went with Brittany ferries on the Pont Aven boat and it was lovely.
My advice for anyone planning a trip like this would be,
1-Plan it well if you intend on travelling around France a bit,
2-Do not stay in a tent( we were the only fools in a tent, everyone else was in a mobile or chalet type house)
3-Bring wet wear!
4- Don't trust the Sat nav!! have the map handy.
Anyway will tell more when I have a bit more energy, have a mountain of sand covered washing here!!!
