Cliff Walking


This is something you don’t see every day. No, not me without my pants but me actually making breakfast. Rita was in shock and had to take a picture to prove it actually happens.
We had ticked off all the places we wanted to go in Normandy and Brittany, so we decided to go back to the Normandy beaches for a long walk on the sand. When we arrived, we were amazed to see that the water was lapping up against the village walls.

Obviously, we were not going for a walk on the beach. Rita sighted a road that went up to the cliffs and so we decided to see where it went. At the top of the road, we saw a small trail and took it. It was fantastic as it wound its way along the cliff for miles. We spent the next 2 hours hiking on the trail that had the sheer drop of the cliffs on one side and farmers fields on the other. It was a wonderful walk. Afterwards we drove home and started to pack and had a very nice tapas dinner with all the leftovers. Tomorrow we head for the Loire/Atlantic area of France.
