... brick town inside a wall built in 1808, i took loads of photos but can not put them on the internet yet. we had lunch/dinner again and walked the 3km back to the hostel. I was busting to go to the loo but there is a distinct lack of public facilities so i had to go to a pub were they followed me to the toilet to make sure i didnt leave without buying a drink. When we retuirned to the Hostel they ...

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...

On a passé une bonne partie de la journée à se promener dans le Mont-St-Michel. C'est vraiment spécial comme endroit, isolé du monde, mini village au milieu de…et bien rien! La marée était basse lorsqu'on est allé mais il parait qu'elle peut monter aussi rapidement que le galop d'un cheval. Je me demande si c'est vrai :s Il faudrait bien que je vérifie!

J'ai même ...

I went just one day to Rennes. I thought it was really pretty since all of the houses are made of
rough stones, des maisons bretonnes typiques. Aussi, les maisons sont faites
toutes un peu croches, ca donne un petit style que j'aimais bien.



Et oui effectivement, il fait beau plusieurs fois par jour. It does rain a LOT.
There is mainly what is in every french city, bars, restaurants and shoe shops!

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 ...

... whole place to ourselves for ½ hour and it
was quite a moving site. About 11,000 German remains were located in
a round open air rotunda with side rooms with 110 remains in each.
You are struck with the fact that most of the dead were just kids,
many just teenagers that probably did not have anything in common
with Hitler. Halfway around the memorial were steps leading up to
the top of the hill and a wonderful view of Mont Ste. Michel, about 4

... most of the buildings have grown higher than the walls, the streets wander around, with cute cafes and stores. On the other side is the sea. You can see a few of the old forts, still clinging to the rocks out to sea - and the ferrys going to England. There are a few parks up around the walls, and a few beaches along the way - makes for a very pleasant walk. Inside the town it is a little bit dark, as I mentioned the buildings have grown very high in a small ...

... to us - the front door was locked! There was a keypad but we had no code. Luckily, the woman that had checked us in the night before came to the door. She fussed at us for not having the code, "I did not see you this morning. No code - that's dangerous." Now, if we needed a code, why on earth would she not have mentioned it when we checked in? She was the only one of two "unfriendly" people we ran into on the entire trip. Midnight and time for sleep!

... over each other. Many rambunctious kids, too, bored by the dull walls and too many adults. Construction of abbey really quite interesting. Lower levels built into rocks on island to support transepts, choir, nave of church. Incredible engineering feat for the 11th century. Random tour. Left by coastal road. All of us fighting colds so returned to hotel to rest. Dinner in dining room of hotel. Excellent. (Hotel de France-Dinan). Too tired to eat it all.
