Tomb raiders

No, not Lara Croft...(well not unless she's chubbed up a fair bit....)

I'm afraid it's just me and JB as per usual. (You pays your money, you gets no choice)

Anyway, today's tombs. Although strictly speaking, they're tumuli.

The first one was located in a place called Le Bono, and it was with quite a sense of relief that the annoying Irish warbler/activist was nowhere to be seen.

The tomb was huge and had more than a passing resemblance to the Teletubbies Home Hill. See for yourself:


Uncanny.

After lunch, we made for the port of Larmor-Baden and a short boat trip over to the uninhabited Ile de Gavrinis.

Our target was the famed (by some anyway) Cairn Gavrinis,  the most decorated cairn in Europe. (Even more than Andy McNab and that's saying something)

Our tour guide rattled on in French mostly, so I'm sorry to say that I can tell you very little about it, except that it was HUGE. I mean seriously big, and as boasted, very well decorated.  

Here's a few pics:
