We left the hotel at five thirty to take the metro to Montparnasse, where we caught the country train to St Malo. The trip took about three hours it was very pleasant as we travelled first class. Thanks to infinity rail for your stuff up, for those who dont know even though we payed for 2nd class tikets we are booked into 1st class on all of our train journeys. We decided to get a cab to our ...

Arret d'une heure à St-Malo.

Cinq minutes après s'être stationné...il commence à pleuvoir. Mais jusqu'à là, ca allait.
Apres un certain temps, je réalise qu'il a un Énorme nuage d'une couleur douteuse qui approche un peu trop rapidement. 30 secondes apres avoir fait le commentaire, gros tonnerre et ca commence à tomber et même à grêler....

Fait du séjour à St-Malo...

... la chance de gouter à des moules pour la première fois de ma vie! Ce n’était pas si mal, je ne sais pas si je suis encore prête à en commander toute seule mais bon, c'est un début. Par contre, je crois que les huitres sont la vraie spécialité du Mont-St-Michel, mais encore là, c’est un fait à vérifier!
Les trippes ca c'est une autre histoire...je n’ai pas r ...

Sunday we drove 2 hours to Bretagne (or Brittany) to Mont St. Michel. There is an abbey on top which began construction in the 700s. It's very old and medieval. There were a ton of steps we had to climb up, but once we got to the top, it was well worth it. The views were picturesque ...

... 19th century viaduct spanning high above the port. It was beer o'clock so we found the old towns bar street and settled ourselves down on one of the outside tables. We tried two local beers a Picon and Affligate. Picon a dark beer but tasting like it contained lemonade (hmmm not sure about that one) and Affligate which was like a blonde Leffe - this was a good choice ...

View was amazing as we parked at Pointe de Grouin and the blue waters of the Altantic shone in the background. The scenery around the Pointe reminded us a lot of Cornwall.

... 12 years old. Back at Scooby we watched the stars and bid goodnight to the glorious spot lit Mont.
Mist and cloud greeted us this morning and so our hopes of getting a few sunrise photos of the Mont were dashed. Morning also bought the hordes of tourists and opening of all the tacky tourist shops. The over commercialisation of this site was akin to turning on the ugly lights at the disco! The ambiance so different from last nights reconnaissance mission.

Mont St. Michel was a small walled city, and the best attraction was the abbey. The abbey was grand, but the entrance fee was a little bit expensive. Nevertheless, I didn't hesitate to buy a ticket even a moment. The scale of the structures inside was huge. Everything including outside of the abbey, the city gate, shops and restaurants along the street up ...

... appointed), we stepped out for dinner. The presidential election had just been won by Nicholas Sarcozy, and his fans were out celebrating on the Place, one woman wearing a "I love Nicholas!" t-shirt... We had a lovely dinner, sitting on the patio at the Lion d'Or, after which we strolled around the town, walking up and down the narrow cobblestoned streets of the "intra-muros". Very charming, highly recommended.
