Some cloud this morning but quickly clearing to be another beautiful day on the Ile de Re. Some shopping in the wonderful covered market where have been before. The displays of fish are just terrific and everything else looks just as good. No fish purchases today as we have no fridge in our room and no cooking facilities. The LLW decide that this evening we would have our supper outside in the garden just outside our window. Some contortions are required to get over the windowsill and outside but nothing too strenuous. We bought Baggettes (with poppy seeds), Rilletes d'Oie, Pate de Forestier, St Felicien cheese, cherry tomatoes and yet more fruit. Later we will purchase some wine from the supermarket.
Off then on a cycle ride to La Cuarde, through the vineyards and then across the island to the north east side and all along the sea front towards St Martin.
It was fabulous, clear blue skies great views across the see towards Loix and the mainland beyond.
We stopped at a great seafood cabana for .... Ice Cream! Such a lovely setting and obviously much enjoyed by the visitors.
On to St Martin via the fortifications and only stopping briefly to admire the view across the harbour and watch some yachts finding beats for the night.
On the way back to Les Gollandiers, we did indeed stop at the supermarche and purchased the required one plus a few other necessities. Supper in the garden was perfect and whilst we are very sad to leave the Ile de Re, one of our very favourite destinations, we are very much looking forward to staying for two nights at Noirmoutiers where we have never been before. Apparently Noirmoutiers means black monasteries and we hope to find out why
