Brest, Brittany, France

Crossing the English channel back to France, we gained the hour back on the clock 😅. Unfortunately A was up much earlier than he wanted to be, and decided to use the time in the gym, where he met D. J just decided to relax in the cabin. As it got brighter out, and approaching the harbour near Brest, France, we decided to enjoyed a coffee and watch the ship docking from the Crow's Nest observation area, forward deck 12.

After an early breakfast, decided to disembark and enjoy the complimentary shuttle in to Brest. We were greeted with a live band playing local folk songs while we walked towards the waiting buses. We were some of the first off the boat, and the line quickly lengthened during that brief time. We enjoyed a walk around a few of the streets and down the main Boulevard towards downtown before looping back.

It was a nice day out, so enjoyed the the afternoon at the outdoor pool. Who knows if the many sea days ahead will provide such luxury! We decided on an early dinner so A&J could attend the 7:30 performance in the World Stage. Tom Crosbie: Performing Nerd. His routine of memory tricks and slight of hand Rubik's Cube solving was entertaining! We then found a spot by the large screen of the indoor pool area to watch the movie La Vie en Rose, a movie about the life of famous French singer Edith Piaf. A may have nodded off near the end of it; tired from reading the subtitles and lulled by the sloshing of the pool waves 😴Les mer
