Another lovely day,so i decide to head South.
My first stop is Piriac-sur-Mer for lunch..
I eat at a restaurant I have been to before Bodega Bay,it is quite busy but I'm able to grab a table outside.
I decide to try their Plateau du Tapas.
Wow,when it is served there is an amazing array of food: king prawns,langoustines,calamari with garlic dip,spicy chicken kebab, prune wrapped in bacon.scallop,fish rillette,whitebait,melon prosciutto ham,smoked meat-a real feast!
After lunch I head off to my favourite road in Brittany which takes me across the salt marshes. For once it is not packed full of tourists and I can enjoy the rhythm of the curvy roads.
From here i ride the short distance to Guerande-another of my favourite places to visit-a small medieval walled town with cobble streets of interesting shops to browse round.
The square in front of the Cathedral is often used by street entertainers and today is no different.
I join the crowds to watch the trio of jugglers perform their act.
I decide to try a different route home from normal and head north east, passing through St Lyphard & Missallac , then north through St Dolay & Rieux. At Rieux I am caught up in a queue of traffic waiting for the drawbridge to close after letting a yacht through on the Vilaine river. Then its cross country through Peillac,St Matin & Ruffiac-another great ride.
I get home about 6pm-it is still really warm so I lie in the garden for a couple of hours for spot of sunbathing whilst finishing my book.
