Too much activity is bad for you, so we had a day of rest. Well I did anyway, and the other adults went to Viller Bocage (home of good bread and excellent vegetables). We found all the people in Normandy really friendly and patient with letting us try our pretty poor French on them, even though it was quickly apparent they were all very fluent in English. But we had lots of fun (and unlike in Dordogne I didnt have to say 'Je suis Australienne' before anyone would talk to us). The kids and I hung out round the pool and the villa for the entire day, reading and playing. So here are some shots of the ambience! A note for anyone contemplating this type of excursion, the farmhouse we stayed in we chose from the web, but the final price we found on the owners website was about half of that we first saw on one of the agent service websites. Once you find your place its always worth searching for that place independently!
