... because we did not understand their map. When we booked in i asked about getting to Mont St Michael the receptionist told us there was only one bus a day and it did not return untill after our train was scheduled to leave to Paris tomorrow..another dissapointment. We could not book in untill 4:00 so we left our bags in the luggage room and walked along the beach to the old part of town, which was an ...

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...

... gouter...Ca pu!!!! J’ai commandé plutôt au restaurant le rôtie de porc et la crème brulée, miam!

En étant en France, tu réalises vraiment comment on censure tout ce qu'on mange en Amérique. Ici, tu as les poules qui sont vendues avec leur tête et leurs pattes, les lapins frais (mort) du jour, les pattes, le nez, le cerveau…tu vois tout tout au marché!

... the abbey there isn’t a whole lot to see at Mont St. Michel, it’s very touristy. We really lucked out with the weather this past weekend, it rained a little when we were walking around, but it definitely poured when we were driving. Someone was watching out for us. 

... round of Affligate please!
Awoke early to freshly brewed coffee and cereal in bed - can't have eggs everyday! Kim convinced me to go for a run later today and not this morning - her reason she was hungry, but I think she was just being lazy :) Not 100% sure what lay ahead today as we had only planned as far as Vitre, which is said to revial Dinan in the mediavel town alure.

Moules, Moules, Moules eveywhere. As we drove towards our next desination the road was littered with stalls of mussels and oysters, infact this region produces 4,000 tonnes of oysters annually...guess what is on the menu for lunch! 1kg mussels and 1/2 dozen oysters for the princely sum of 6 Euro. Can't say we are missing ...

... the village of Mont Saint Michel population 42. The Mont built in 7th century and twined to Mount St Micheal in Cornwall. You would be forgiven for thinking they look very similar from a distance but up close Mont Michel is far grander, although the causeway is cooler in England!!! Having the place nearly completely to ourselves we checked out every nook and cranny and was captivated by its aura. This is how you would imagine castles to be when you ...

... The cars have five number registration plates! Then on to another channel island... then to France. And its surprisingly great; the tourist information supplies a list of accommodation for the area, posts a weather forecast and knows the season of a local ferry. I expected this to be some faff and it was easy. The hostel is easily found and after some fumbling basic French they are very helpful, the hostel is a big complex with a bar, apartments ...

... bunkers, artillery) and read historical boards. At one of the boards we met an older British man. When he learned that I was Canadian and Yvonne German, he told us that his wife is German and that they have a daughter who married a Canadian, and who now lives in Courtney! Small world. Near Arromanche, we looked out into the water at the remains of Mulberry Harbour - an artificial concrete harbour that the Allies built in England and dragged over piece-by-piece so they could unload ...
