Back in the time machine (3)

It’s the same year, 1986, but this time we’re having a special treat courtesy of Tine’s godfather Jojo: a day trip to l’Île de Ré.

Nadine & Tine enjoying the crossing...

...just like Matt & a younger version of your faithful blogger.

Arriving at Saint Martin it takes a while for everyone to disembark...

...but look who’s there to meet us: Manou stopping with friends on the island.


Time to get the boat back to La Tranche and we’re entertained by competitors during ‘la fête de la mer’

It’s been a tiring day with an early start...

...but here’s the return ferry.

Now leaving Saint Martin...

...not forgetting to wave to Manou & Papy Maurice on the town walls.
