Ouessant

For a while now I wanted to take Wolfram to the island Ouessant. Unfortunately so far all our trips to Brittany were too short or dedicated to something else.
But not this time.
After careful analysis of the weather forecast I decided for Wednesday as it seemed to be the day with the highest chances of good weather. How wrong could they be for the next two day?
We woke up under the rain, very heavy rain. So bad it made us doubt our choice. But we embarked hoping for the microclimate on the island.
The rain stopped eventually but the strong wind stayed which made the boat trip interesting and shaky, testing our stomach around the Pointe Saint-Mathieu. Painfully, at least for me, we survived.
The rest of the day was simply incredible. Windy but sunny which made it the perfect combination for pictures of waves breaking on the rocks of the island coast.

What I like about Ouessant is that it is still quite wild. It has not been invaded by tourists and only few hikers will walk the small trail along the coast. In other words, one can walk for hours without meeting anyone.

We only covered about a quarter of the island before we had to take the boat back for an even shakier ride, but it was even better than I remembered. Next time we'll come for two days so Wolfram gets to see the other parts of the island.
