Pointe de Raz

Annie and Guy were kind enough to lend us a car the next day, and they suggested we visit Pointe de Raz, the most western point of France. Looking at the map, we realized it was about 300 km away and expressed our uncertainty at being able to make it that far. After a few moements, we remembered that it is in fact possible to travel faster than 20 km/h, and we were on our way (it took a few more minutes of the car lurching forward and slamming to a stop before I remembered that not all vehicles work by alternating pressure on the pedals - after that, we were ready to go).

Once again, we fell victim to poor weather and we didn't see anything that night. The fog was thick enough that visibility was reduced to about 20 m (so much for our hopes of seeing Canada). Because of the poor, damp weather we decided to stay at a hotel which was very cheap given its nice location. The hotel, being quite a way back from the point, had better weather and we had a good view of the ocean a little fishing village.
















The weather was a bit better the next day and we were able to see some of the point. Very rugged, craggy scenery and worth the visit.
