Thursday was our departure day after a wonderful 2 weeks home exchange in Arpajon sur Cere. We got the house back to rights and were just loading the car when Olivier's wife arrived expecting us to be already gone. It was an opportunity to meet her and I was glad that we had left the house perfect.
On arrival in Danielle's in Rochefort Jim got a beer. He enjoyed it after the long journey!
On Friday Danielle, Emmanuelle and the two of us went for the day to Ile de Re while Jade and William were at school.
The ruined Cistercian Abbaye des Chateliers built in 1156.
St. Martin de Re
Barrage built to protect from flood at times of storm and high tide.
View from where we had lunch which was a great disappointment to Danielle. In fact it wasn't very good.
We took a walk around the Phare des Baleines.
We had a great day touring Ile de Re and listening to Danielle and Emmanuelle reminiscing about their times there in the past. Next day it was back to the ferry for our journey home. Our travels for 2018 were over!
