Nantes day out

Bit of a lie in this morning after a late one last night at Le Fleur du Malts watching the French wallop Italy. Made some local friends and will return there today for more sport. A table has been reserved and lager is 4.50 Euros a pint.

It did get a bit messy towards the end as the shots started to come out and indeed some of the touring party are struggling this morning. I’m alright though Jack. Just need to nip out to Carrefour down the road for some milk and loo paper. Simples.

Was another hot day yesterday, spent looking at the tourist sights, mostly from the outside. The cathedral was closed so we sat outside an Irish bar called Gigg’s drinking coffee and looking at the outside of the big church.

Then we walked to the Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne and walked the ramparts. It was nine Euros to go inside the museum so we gave it a miss and found a restaurant called Le Bo Vins for a spot of lunch. Many eateries had stopped serving by the time we got there. Two thirty.

After that I explored another Irish Bar called Bradys which the taxi driver on the first night had recommended but our experience of it was poorly kept expensive beer and so we moved on.

That, is all I care to remember of yesterday 🙂

Public transport is free in Nantes at weekends. No more fiddling trying to get rid of loose change.
