Normandy and Brittany Road Trip

Last year in 2013 we took a road trip in the campervan from the UK to the South of France, it was a pretty epic route of 2,260 miles but it made us realise that travelling in the campervan is a much better experience if we break the route into three hour sections to make the most of exploring as we go.

It seemed I could still twitpic at no extra cost (on the iPhone data bolt on) quite a long way away from land.
