Our original plan had been to sail across the Bay of Biscay and arrive southeast of where we are currently located. Unfortunately we had spent so much time waiting for good weather in Spain that we decided we needed to move along if we were ever going to make it to Holland this season. We decided if we could not sail to these areas we would grab a bus and do some overland traveling. Our first trip was to a town called Quimper. Not sure what to expect, we took the approximately one hour bus ride and got off at the top of the town. We arrived there quite early, 8 AM (we found the French are not what one would call morning people) and the town was very quiet. Thinking we’d stop for a coffee we are amazed to find all the shops closed. It turned out to be an excellent time to get there because none of the tourists had arrived so the streets were almost completely deserted – a nice time to walk through the historic area of town.
