Ouessant - the Island at the end of the Earth

 

 As part of my birthday celebrations we went to the ile d'Ouessant (Ushant) for a couple of days. We had been wanting to visit for some time and it didn't disappoint. The boat sailed from Le Conquet at 09 45, so we left Huelgoat very early so we would be on time. Everything went smoothly on land and sea. We waved goodbye to the mainland after which I fell asleep and missed all the views. Those of you who know me understand that I am not a morning person.

 



  We checked in to the Duchess Anne Hotel (great) and went walking round the north west coast in the afternoon. It was amazing, with not another person in sight.

 



   In the evening we ate at the hotel and the food was wonderful.   After a good night's sleep we set out to continue our explanation of the north coast.

 

 

   We finished back in Lampaul and looked around the town and at the church before collecting our things from the hotel and getting the boat.
   The views of the island were great and this time it was Paul who went to sleep!
