Pas de probleme...

Maxime was amazingly helpful, driving us to Roscoff the night before the ferry to show us the safest route and then taking us sightseeing around the lovely coves of Carentec.


The fact that we leave at 6.00 on a Sunday morning is also "pas de probleme".
As we pedal towards the ferry port at first light, hares bounced away across fields of globe artichokes and the empty leaves where the cauliflowers had been harvested. There is a lovely wide new cycle path, still being finished, from St Pol De Leon. There are no people about at this hour, just the unmistakeable smell of fresh baked bread from behind the Boulangerie shutters.
The nice lady at the terminal prints our ticket for us as we had booked on the phone last night, and told us there was a bit of a delay. Apparently Irish Ferries had left port with the gang plank still attached, so Brittany ferries could not disembark the passengers! They have returned it now but we think she said it was a bit bent. It gives us time for a last French breakfast.
