Another time in Nantes...

...before the jump back :)

walking on the clouds

Ile de Yeu

Following the suggestions I reached this small and, for what I saw, beautiful island.

Now I'll stay here 2 or 3 days...mumble mumble

La Barre de Monts - Fromentine

And after some hours under the sun I reached this place, overloaded of tourists :)

There's some news ... maybe a brief jump to Amsterdam...

E dopo Nantes -> Pornic e Bouin

I asked around in order to know the right pronounciation of Pornic ...shit, what a name! When I saw it I thought about a porn version of Diabolik (Pornik and Eva Kant sounds perfect to me, also Kant....)

Beh in Pornic there's nothing special, it's a typical village on the sea with a small castle and an harbour, but there I found the ice cream flavour caramel au beurre sale' MMMMMMMMM I think I'm addicted to this beurre sale' breton (britain salty butter)...but now I reached the Vandee region, I hope to find some beurre sale' somewhere...

Bouin is a village in the Vandee department (of the Pays de la Loire region), I reached this place just because a woman said to come here for fiding a place for sleeping, because there are no campings here. Today I walked from Pornik (it's better with the K), following the coast and I saw great places (pics uploaded) confirming that la Bretagne (at least the parts I saw) is a great region and I hope to come back in the future.

Now I wanna see la Vandee, for now I didn't see too much, I spent some hours walking aroud the marais (the french polders) ...

Asap new updates and, following the suggestions from Royalhero, more introspective mental masturbation (I saw on wordreference.com the translation of "seghe mentali"!)

PS this morning I saw these trabocchi on the Bretagne coast! I didn't know Italians and French had the same idea :)

aaaaand Nantes

Leggendo i post passati vedo che non ho scritto di un bel po' di cose che son successe nell'ultimo periodo ...uhmmm...quindi devo ricordarmi di:

- i 2 friburghesi con cui ho mangiato/discusso l'altra sera

- istruzioni per passare come molestatore

- il parlare a 4occhi con 2 italiani (cosa che non avveniva da quasi 4 mesi)

- il mio nuovo compagno di viaggio (un bastone)

- i vicini bretoni parlanti bretone e il loro cane "simpaticissimo"

- il concetto di "Non mi storpiare il francese! Guarda, e' meglio se parliamo, di merda, inglese. Zenkiu'!"

uhmmm varie ed eventuali che adesso non mi vengono in mente, devo rileggere li appunti

Salut!

A new phone??? - btw I'm in Vannes

Today I tried to use my phone as a chair.....don't do it!!!

As result now I have a phone without a display, but, at least, a month ago, I wrote down on paper some phone numbers.

So if someone is going to send me a text he'll never receive a reply :)

Auray

Dopo 3 ore e mezza di camminata son arrivato in 'sta cittadina a 18 km da Vannes.

Non appena entrato in citta' un ragazzo mi ha urlato qualcosa tipo "Uhela' pellegrino, come va?"

e poi mi ha indicato dov'era il centro e dove chiedere altre info: beh come comitato di accoglienza non e' stato male.

Vediam com'e' 'sto posto.

Allegria! (cit.)

Dall'isola di Groix a Carnac

Son nda ieri ella cittadina dei menhir, dolmen e ciottoli vari.

Fatto di vita: oggi ho incrociato per strada un terzetto di bambini; la bambina del gruppo ha deciso che era il caso di apostrofarmi con un "Salut papa!" (="Ciao paparino!"="Hello daddy!").

Al momento mi son messo a ridere, dopo 15 minuti o sentito l'esigenza di suonare a tutti i citofoni della via e mangiare un gelato...beh scherzo, il gelato non l'ho mangiato sul serio.

Domani scappo a Vannes, a piedi o in bus, a seconda di come mi svegliero' (decisione presa, in buona parte, dalle auto che passano a fianco della mia piazzola al campeggio).

Ogni tanto sento voglia di 4 mura chiamate casa a cui ritornare la sera (o in qualunque altra parte di giornata), ma non sento proprio la voglia di tornare in un ufficio.

Yo!

Cultura/e

Et voila'! Lorient

Dopo 24 o 25 km di sole son arrivato in sto posto che, tra l'altro ospitera' il festival interceltico in agosto. Il che potrebbe incoraggiare un salto indietro qui...

Comunque nei prossimi giorni si preannuncia anche una visita qui, perche' mi sembre un ottimo posto...poi magari non lo e'..ma questa e' un'altra storia.

Consiglio estivo del nonno: se fa caldo bevete tanto e mangiate tanta frutta cosi' anke nelle ore piu' calde potete far quel cazzo che vi pare (ho provato funge, non si capisce dove finisca un litro netto di succo di frutta dopo averlo bevuto in 15 minuti, ma funziona)

After 24 or 25 km of sun I arrived in this place that, among other things, will host the Interceltique festival in August. That could justify a step back here ...
However in the next few days I'll try to go here, because it seems a great place...maybe it isn't...but this is another story.

Summertime suggestion of the grandfather: If it's hot drink a lot and eat a lot of fruit so, also in the hottest hours of the day you can do whatever the fuck you think (I tried and it worked, it is not clear where a liter of fruit juice ends after drinking it in 15 minutes, but it works)

Enjoy the summer!

Un qualke posto....somewhere...

vicino a Clohars-Carnoet....walking under the sun for hours is a good way for losing weight....

What a day!

I started the walk with a plan and I changed it twice, ending in this place, at least there's the swimming pool

Also starting the walk come from a last second decision, because spending a day (my birthday) on the beach was to bad, yes, toooooooo bad :(

Ciao a tutti

New equilibrium

I'm noticing that I found an equilibrium between the active and the resting days.

If the active day is strong and costing a lot of energy (walking wwith the backpack or just walking all day long for taking pics), the day after is always a resting day, spent eating and doing something else (swimming, sunbathing, reading...) without so much effort.

For example, yesterday I reached Pont-Aven, walking in a sunny and hot day and without eating a lot, today I spent 2 hours walking for taking some pics and I spent the afternoon surfing, chatting and eating stuff from the boulangerie.

I don't know if the equilibrium is healthy or not...but I'm fine :)

Pont-Aven

Here I am!

After 4 walking and one spent for taking pics I reached Pont-Aven, a nice place where also Gauguin worked for a while.

Asap the reports of these days about:

- What's that lady looking for?

- How to finish in a girl-scout camp and being kicked off in 5 minutes

and other stuff that I don't remember :)

PS Hoyoyoyo I reached 3 months
