here for Day 6 if you missed it, if you didn't, read on for a quick summary of our two days off on the beach!
Friday 2nd September
After a bit of a lie-in this morning after the long ride yesterday, we got up thinking we'll have a wander and then sit on the beach and soak up the sun we've been riding through all week, but, it was miserable weather outside with clouds threatening rain as far as the eye could see. Great.
 |
| It brightened up slightly giving us some hope... |
We headed out in the morning anyway and walked around the town, looking in some of the chocolate shops and clothes shops and the like before heading back to a pancake stall we'd spotted for some brunch. After ordering in pretty decent French (if I do say so myself) considering I haven't really spoken masses since GCSEs, we sat down to enjoy our delicious pancakes.
 |
| They were so lovely, I couldn't wait to eat some! |
Post-pancakes, it was starting to spit the tiniest bit so we swung by the supermarket to pick up snacks and drinks to get us through an afternoon in a hotel room. It rained pretty steadily all afternoon and then tipped it down in the evening so we walked very speedily to the restaurant with our bike jackets on for protection as they were all we had.

| As it's the end of the holiday, you've got to have a dessert |
It was a shame we spent the majority of one of our rest days inside when we were hoping to be on the beach but we have been blessed with fantastic weather all week and it's supposed to be brighter tomorrow so I suppose you can't have it all.
Saturday 3rd September
Today was much nicer and we actually woke up to sunshine and clear skies! It wasn't boiling hot so we just went for shorts and t-shirts for our day on the beach.

The town was much busier today but as it's the weekend and a nice day, I suppose that's what's expected. In the morning we walked along the beach and the sea front before returning to the pancake store - they were just too good to resist!

| Pancake anyone? |
We sat and read all afternoon outside in the sunshine, turning a tad red in the process. After returning to the hotel, we packed up everything ready for the morning and the long ride home.
In the evening we headed out to eat by the sea front to enjoy our final night of the holiday. Home tomorrow so a long ride! Hoping to get an earlier train so we're not getting back at 8pm
