7/27 - Roscoff

An almond croissant we had for breakfast!

We began exploring Roscoff by walking around the "city centre" and doing some shopping.  

 

 

 

 

After buying some gifts for some people and walking a bit, we walked to the end of a pier that went very far into the water.  It was beautiful -- the sky, the town, the water. 

 

 Roscoff even had a sand castle-looking church!  

 

 

We ate lunch at a crepe place and ordered egg, ham, and cheese crepes and a chocolate and a sugar crepe for dessert.  

We drank an apple cider alcoholic beverage that Maryanne liked a lot.  Maryanne also enjoyed the carafe of water and would have stayed to play with it longer had it not been for a treacherous white cat that came too close.  

After lunch we walked around some more, sat for a while, retrieved our bags, and made our way to the ferry terminal. It was about a 20-minute walk and we had time to kill so we took turns walking up to this church on a hill.  

 

Our ferry left at 6:30 p.m.  We had 2 seats in a room of about 30 chairs.  Getting onto the ferry was interesting because we got onto a bus that drove us into what looked like the basement of the boat.  We had planned to watch some of the Olympics, see a musician or two, watch a magic show, and possibly attend an onboard cabaret, but as it turns out, it took us until the following morning to realize we were running on Ireland time, which was an hour earlier... So we missed everything.  Whoops! We ended up utilizing the Wifi and then getting dinner at an onboard restaurant.  We then slept on the floor.
