Escape?

Today was another dull and damp day, but as we had planned for it we were okay. We first cycled into town to visit the Victor Hugo house, but we were lucky getting in as the tours run a fixed intervals and this is not mentioned on the official leaflet. We bought some food on the way home and returned to base for lunch.

In the afternoon we went for a walk to the German underground hospital, which is a huge hole in the ground that must have been a pretty miserable place as a hospital... Today's back-blip is view upwards of one of the several escape shafts that were dug into the solid rock during the construction. The site is interesting but was a bit light on the plight of the forced slave labour that built it and what it looked like when it was operating.

When we came back into the light we had a short walk around the area and out towards the coast before returning to base for our bread and soup.
