On
this day after a long lie in we ventured to Dol de Bretagne birthplace of the
House of Stewart, the Kings and Queens of Scotland from 1371 to 1714.
Ironic real that two weeks previously the UK
had opted to say “Au revoir” to Europe when in fact Europe and the UK had the
same origins and a shared history. Then
again sharing is an antithesis to the Brexiteers.
Dol is a picture postcard town with close
links to the Celtic nations, as seen with one of its cafes. As we walked around the streets Danny came
across a knight in full armour on horseback.
After travelling thousands of miles across France he wasn’t going to be
scared by this and stood in front of the knight getting ready to give him a
severe scorching. Fortunately for the
knight he decided to ride away rather than risk Danny’s anger. Danny also enjoyed the museum of Dol next to
the cathedral that tracks the history of Dol from BC to the present day. This was one cathedral that we didn’t get
to look around as there was a funeral
taking place. We did however get to look
around the Dol Cathedralescope, which again give a comprehensive history of the
cathedral. It took some time for Danny
to drop asleep as he was so excited about tomorrow’s trip to Paris for the Euro
16 Final.
