We travelled into Rennes via Paris which seemed such a long way to go as looking on a map we had only to travel North along the coast of Brittany. However we set off and managed to change trains in Paris within the 15min time limit. Friends meet us at the train station and the heavens opened with rain. Everyone was so pleased except us as we had no coats or an umbrella.
We toured the town and found a hot chocolate that tasted very much like it was made from cocoa not like the chocolate we had in Spain which looked and tasted just like melted chocolate. So thick you could stand your spoon up in it.
Our friends live only 25 mins from the train station so we headed home to our 400yr old stone house which was to be our accommodation for the night. We slept in the upstairs attic.
We all helped Charrine to get in their 90 cows in to milk which were out in the paddock today as its summer time. In winter they spend all day and night in the barn. Two rows of 8 cups milked the cows. Perrin ( their 6b yr old son) showed us how to feed their 20 rabbits. These were housed in hutches which latter would be sent to a rabbit butcher for processing.
Tomorrow we head for Paris.
