Islands

It was a truly gorgeously clear day.
I got up very early - Son#3's nightmare and #2's inquisitiveness.


We drove to Vannes on the southern coast.
Lovely, but the enormous amount of tourists milling about ruined it a wee bit.
In between, keeping track of 3 boys is daunting.

Then further south, to Pont Blanc, where we caught the boat to Ile-Aux-Moines.
Simply wonderful.
There, also, droves of tourists, and bicycles galore, but we walked up through narrow streets and down again, to a narrow strip of beach.




The boys built small rafts and sandcastles until we left again for the boat back to the mainland.
I had a major meltdown in the car back to Rennes, tired from getting up too freaking early, tired from a constant fever, life in general and raising three defiant and energetic boys.
I cried for 70 kilometres.

At home, the husband took charge: sandwiches for dinner and straight to bed.


Tomorrow we begin this shit all over again.
