Pontrieux at last. Or it means the holiday is almost over and it's almost time to go home............

Sunday 23^rd June 2019:

Hottest and sunniest day so far and of course it’s the day we’ve chosen to travel, fortunately we’re up early and the rest of the packing up and hitching the caravan is done before the sun really starts bearing down!

Heading north towards Brittany the temperature drops from 28°C to a much more refreshing 18°C, much more appropriate to setting up camp in an almost empty blissfully quiet campsite, at our go to place, Pontrieux.

After some nice pork and roasties cooked on the Cobb and couple of glasses of Muscadet a gentle walk around town and a swim in the river for the dogs and then bed time!

Monday 24^th June 2019:

Not a desperately nice day, cold (17ºC) and damp and Météo France is rubbish!

For days they have been forecasting thunder and rain in the different places we have been and nothing like it has been happening weather wise.  Maybe some drizzle and a little cloud but not the wrath of God the Frogs have been predicting.
Our UK weather apps have been spot on though, which just goes to prove what we have known since Monty Python and the Holy Grail brought the fact to our attention: you just can’t trust the bloody French!

A day spent driving around retracing old tracks with lunch at Le Bar du Yacht, Lezardrieux, overlooking the river and yacht marinas.

As the weather was forecast by our (UK apps) to be fairly close until later in the afternoon we took the opportunity to get a few bits and pieces that we can’t get in the UK to take home and the pressies for the relatives.

The French TV news has been wall to wall with the heatwave in Canicule, strangely we can’t find Canicule anywhere on Google Maps.
After several hours of trying to hunt this elusive village down we turn to Google translate.  Guess what Canicule means f*cking HEATWAVE!
What was I saying about not trusting the bloody French!
