Our day.

Hello Friends !

Again a beautiful  hot day!

We went to visit two different castles and a small harbour.

The castle of Nacqueville Urville

But we could not visit the inside it is a private one.

My photos are not very straight because of the sun 

I didn’t see well…

The castle of Dur Écu

Which we could only see the outside again

 We have been looking for a water mill did some kms and didn’t found it! We are tired but the hotel made a reservation for us in a good restaurant!

I had my breakfast at half past eight and didn’t have lunch so I feel hungry 😋!

Tapestry and fortress

Hello friends!

Here on our deck we are having coffee after a busy day.

Everybody came back at the hotel and we can hear Italian speaking, English and German.

The tide is high and the boats are going in and out of the harbour in front of the hotel.

Tonight we will have a cheese board in our room

Tomorrow the hotel booked for us a restaurant for tomorrow evening the hotel restaurant being full for the week in the evening.

Hello Friends!

It is very hot here! This part of France is always the coolest of Normandy ( but it this year!)

We have walked less than usual because we walked a lot yesterday 5 kms and today 3,5 kms

And we would like to visit another place tomorrow and go to some famous shops.

Boats waiting for the tide

This is Portbail and it was market day!

A lot of Normand specialties SO good! 

It is a very nice market and I found honey from wild black bees 🐝 for the winter

The church from the village

 I have problems with internet today!

Walking and driving up and down

Hello friends!

Today we were up at 7 and first at breakfast at half past eight. 

We then started our day by going to see the Goury lighthouse 

We drove up and down very narrow lanes and went to see the painter’s house Jean Francois Millet you may know his famous painting “ The Angelus”

It was probably a thatched house was mostly a barn in front of his house.

It is the well in front of his house he painted 60 times.

This is the old village he liked to paint, rural life.

This is his painting of the well. 
 

We have beautiful sunny days

This looks as if it was on the moon they are dunes.

There are beautiful bays everywhere. I used to walk a lot with our children and our dogs there going up and down the cliffs there are many paths on top of the cliffs above the sea.

This is Port Racine the smallest harbour of France.

Another bay

The pasture where there are usually cows and sheep’s.

We walked 5 kms and went across and up and down the peninsula. We are tired and resting in our room! See you tomorrow!
