Introduction
Our summer vacation plans in 2017 were routed in uncertainty but our of uncertainty can arise some of the most interesting avenues of exploration. Often its great to embrace the chaos and let it play out and in these situations most time we find that these situation play out favorably.
So after endless discussions of where to go on holiday we had the discussions the day before we departed. We were fortunate that no flights were needed as we were going to do a camping holiday of some format. This is something we had all done individually but not as a family
While we had a been preparing for this for the previous few weeks, the open question was the destination. We decided the destination 12 hours before departing. Reluctantly agreeing on driving through France with no itinerary. Give we live in the UK last minute ferry ticket, car insurance and breakdown cover were booked. Packing done and with a few hours of sleep we were on our way.
Our route through France
We took a long route across France as we wanted to stop off to see the Bayeux Tapestry. As a kid growing up in the UK I always remember the history of the Battle of Hastings. The tapestry that represents this battle and tells the story is housed in a museum in the town of Bayeux.
While photos inside the museum are not allowed for some unknown reason, you can get a sense of what you would expect to see on google. The town is easily accessible and there is parking just outside the main museum.
The rest of the town is picturesque too with cobbled streets and walking areas.
After Bayeux we continued our drive west towards Lanevov where we were going to camp for he night. We camped on a quite pebbled Atlantic bay.
The bay was not suitable for swimming but there were a lot of morning fisherman eagerly casting their lines. Above all what a wonderfully quiet part of the world in the morning.
