Postcard from the Golfe du Morbihan


Day five
Friday 2nd August
All aboard!
On Day Five we had booked a boat trip.
We drove to Vannes and boarded the boat at the Quay.
For over an hour the boat sailed around the Golfe du Morbihan.

A large bay where they say when the tide is low there is an island for every day of the year!

The above island is Ile Gavrinis which has a large prehistoric dolmen.


I think these boats were being pulled along....maybe they were having sailing lessons?
The Atlantic ocean is out there!
Then we disembarked at Ile-aux-Moines (Monk's island)
 We hired some bikes to explore the island a little.

Puits de I'Eglise






 We sat down to eat just before the heavens opened!

 It was only a short shower and the sun was soon back out.

Then we caught our return boat back to Vannes.

  3. I am really enjoying reading about everybody's summer holidays and having a look at places I've never been to and probably will never have the chance to either, come to think of it. What a treat!
