Home Sweet Home - Back to Brittany in France

After 7 years away from France, it is nice to go back to Brittany (Western France) periodically. It is often said Brittany used to have some common Celtic roots with Northern Europe and sometimes I wonder to what extent Brittany is truly French. Anyway, here are a few pictures of' my one last week holiday in Europe. Starting with the 'Cote Sauvage' which sounds very Australian to me. For those of you who recall the first pictures of the 12 apostles posted in the blog previoulsy, the Cote Sauvage look very similar ...




Of course, the waves are not that great compared to Australia but that's better than nothing. Here is a picture of an early start at 8am with Brad on a Sunday morning.




A few hours later, in the absence of waves, we ended-up riding the mini ramp. It took ags to get used to it, it has been a while but Brad and I managd to get ome fun!

Bachelor Party ... en route to Switzerland

Here we are .. . one of my closest friends is getting married. Thi is pretty unusual these days where most people I know chose to ignore the whole wedding thing. In a few words, this might be my only chance to be a best man! The event had to be duly celebrated. A bunch of Damien's (the lucky duck) friends got on a plane to Lausanne, in peaceful French speaking Switerland. I can't say the week end did any justice to Switzerland (we saw most of it under the influence of alcohol), however we definitely had an amazing time.
