Brittany

---

Our days are starting quite late; it doesn’t get dark until almost 10pm. But when we finally got going we went for a browse through the town in Dinan. Fantastic old medieval buildings that look like they’re from a Harry Potter set. I think it’s of season but it doesn’t seem to be touristy at all. The shops are regular clothes shops (and for a windowshopaholic it seems insane for me to say) but I had better things to look at.
I was expecting the temperature here to be 15-18c but it’s 28 today; well at least it was until we decided it was hot enough to go to the beach. We drove to a little peninsula that had sand on both sides and a scattering of islands in the bay. As soon as we got there the temperature suddenly dropped and it started to hail. Such a shame, it was a great beach. At least the drive there was nice; through the greenest of green fields and through picture postcard villages. Brittany is sensational.
