Vanne and Cuz Pete

---

Well the first stage of the trip complete we stopped off in Vannes to see my cousin Peter. Unfortunately due to scheduling clashes we could only catch up for two days but what a great couple of days. We arrived to have Pete take us on a 2 hour bike ride around some stunning scenery. We did get a little lost but need say no more on that front. That evening involved Debbie's favourite dinner salad and Deb's favourite chocolate bar Milkyways. Little did Pete know but he couldn't have planned a better evening for Debs, Exercise, beaucoup de salad and then milkyways. The boy knows how to treat a lady right! The next day Pete took the afternoon off to take us to lunch. (deservedly so as he is away on business in China for Bic for the next 10 days and will be working solid for them for the next 15) We went to a great little restaurant where the chef does everything from waiter to cook. The food was fantastic. Then finally a beach and sun shine! I remember why I came away for the summer now. Finally as all good beach days must end we ended up meeting some fantastic friends of Pete's pic's attached. Next to quote Pete Shaw is Van life, where Debbie and I actually have to sleep in Bettie! Will let you know how that goes. We are heading to try to find a campsite with a boat in it north of Chatelaillon near La Rochelle and wifi to update you.
