We got up and had breakfast - we had pain au chocolate and cereal. We went to Bayeux and we popped in to the cathedral to have a look and some of the choir boys sang in the crypt. Then we headed up through the busy streets to the market. At the market there were lots of things such as fish, sausage, sweets and fresh fruit. They also had souvenirs and good crepes and live crabs and lobsters. After we visited the market we went to the Bayeux Tapestry. It is nearly 70 metres and all embroidered in great detail and it describes the Norman conquest of England in 1066.After that we went on a long coach ride to the goat farm. Once there, we had a talk from the farmer in French and we watched a short movie of the farm. We went into the barn and learned about the experience of the goats. We now know how to milk a goat! We groomed them and one of the kids walked across our backs! Ayo rode on the buck's back and later we got a free sample of goats' cheese. At the end we were able to buy some cheese.
When we got back to the chateau we had a dinner of boeuf bourgignon and we danced and had a talent show which James won. It was an amazing day - it will be a tough one to beat.
Harry, Robert, Sam, Alex and James
