La Rochelle

An enjoyable trip off the island to La Rochelle today. I visited last when I was about 16 years old and had a caricature of myself done, which stayed on my bedroom wall for a few years!

Today we ventured up the tower, which is quite and achievement as both myself and my little chic are scared of heights. It was well worth it as the views were fantastic from the top. I often say to my daughter "do one thing each day that scares you".

We got caught in an absolute downpour, you could hear the screams from the other side of the port as the rain made it's way over to us. We were all dressed in shorts and t shirts and we laughed and screamed as we tried to get to some cover....a memory for the children no doubt!
