Not all days are spectacular and so today was an ordinary day. This is to be expected on a long holiday. We woke up to drizzle which persisted most of the day. We drove down the coast and had a brief stop in St.Quay Portieux where we managed a front row parking spot and after some breakfast, had a short stroll around. 

We have had some internet usage issues of late with our 5gb of data disappearing in a few days that would usually last us a month. Whilst we were waiting for an explanation we decided to use our vodafone account at €3/500mb per day. This was gobbled up in a matter of seconds this morning...as it turns out there is a new apple software update! This is the 2nd time it has happened whilst we have been away this year. So this resulted in a visit to McD to use up their free wifi for downloads. Unfortunately we were only successful with one device as the lunch time crowd overloaded the service. Counting our losses we decided to head off to find the Super U we passed several days ago that had a laundry-mat in the carpark. Off course this was further up North than we anticipated, anyway we got there eventually, put the wash on and luckily enough we're able to finish our software downloads using the free wifi at the supermarket. Things were looking up... technology was sorted, we had clean sheets and the sun was shinning! 

So then we chose an aire for tonight and after a very tight deviation through the cobble stone streets of Dinan we made it to a peaceful spot on the canal in Tinteniac.

 After purchasing more gigabites from SOSH-our French provider, and a tidy up we had a nice dinner and a walk along the canal.
