A very peaceful place

Arrival in Carteret proved a challenge- my phone had no charge (because European cars do not have a USB port) and for once I had not written down the locked box key with the old technology of pen and paper. What to do?? Workaround time. Get out the surface pro that I had fully charged the night before, plug in the phone to the usb port and get enough charge to find the code. It worked and we entered our little cottage at last after about 6 hours on the road crossing from Paris to Carteret on the Normandy Coast. After two full travel days we were both pretty played out. But we needed to shop, so off we went to Carrefour Market in the next village to Carteret. I reckon we managed brilliantly given our strange travel weary states. Baked chicken and salad for dinner before falling into bed to sleep the sleep of the completely wrecked!

While the weather dawned overcast the next morning, today, we didn’t care. We had already decided to take it easy, just rest and maybe take a first walk in the dunes to find the sea. All was lovely and we enjoyed our day enormously. Feeling rested tonight, looking forward to reading and relaxing in this beautiful natural environment.Читать далее
