Back on board

Every time we go to Robinetta we seem to use a different route. This time we got the local bus to Stansted Airport, then the X30 bus to Southend airport. There are two flights a day from Southend to Rennes, and we got the earlier one, that left Southend at 10:35.

After landing at Rennes we took another bus, then a metro, to Rennes train station. The train to Quimper was not going to leave for three hours, and we had thought we would have a meal in the train station cafe and wait. Unfortunately Rennes train station is a building site at the moment, so we ended up looking for somewhere a bit quieter. Given the heat of the day we were very happy to find an ice cream parlour a short walk away and we ended up having icecream sundaes for lunch. Not exactly healthy, but very nice!

The train was perfectly on time, and we were in good time time for our next bus, from Quimper to Douarnenez. Once back on board Robinetta we stowed our luggage, then went for a walk round to Treboul. Although it had been a very hot day there was a nice cool breeze in Douarnenez, and we had a pleasant walk.

All the restaurants in Treboul were already full, or had finished serving, so in the end we ate on board, from stores.
