From 20th August to 7th September – Home
Its fair to say I had already decided that this wasn’t the end of my trip, and I knew I still had so much more to see. My previous trip hadn’t quite gone according to plan, although it was a great experience, but I needed to go back and finish it off. So this is exactly what I decided to do.

I had a plan to do about 6-7 hours driving today to get me closer to St Malo, where I presumed I would be getting a ferry from to get me back home. Nothing was booked yet as it was a sudden decision to cut the trip short, but it was more than likely that this would be the travel point.

The fact that it was cold the night before meant it was a cold morning. The high mountains stopped the sun from warming up the air until later on in the morning when the sun peered over the mountain tops. This meant that the tent was heavily condensated this morning. The cool was a complete contrast to how the trip has been so far, and i must say, i prefer the warmth.
