Day 31 Saturday 19th June:
It rained over night and we woke to a bleak, overcast, drizzly morning – the sparkle had gone from the jewel! It gave us an opportunity to see a different mood of Mont St Michel. After breakfast we slowly made our way to St Malo – to seaside town to the west. The sky started to show signs of blue as we arrived at this old medieval town. Yet another walled-town with a Saturday market – more fish for tea! The locals were busily buying large live crabs – fascinating to see the variety of seafood available and the quantities being sold.
Our urgent need though was autogas (LPG) – our two cylinders were on empty. It took about an hour to find a servo that sold the gas. Much relieved because the gas drives the fridge most of the time! Twenty-four Euros for 36 kilos!
We parked the van and went into the walled-town. There were many British yachties in town for some official sail pass – at the same time Australia v Ghana in the world Cup.
Set TT for the Aire we were staying at overnight – another scenic location overlooking the Hippodrome (racecource). Read, had dinner, watched the movie "Dear John" and then to bed.
