Took ourselves off to Mont St. Michel. It used to be a small island cut off by tidal waters but now has a causeway leading to it. When I was last there, the car park used to flood every high tide! They seem to have fixed the problem now though.
It’s a really nice place, it’s kind of like stepping back in time, the streets and the buildings all as they were a couple of centuries ago, however with a modern touristy scene within. Odd mixture but very nice.
The focal point of Mont St. Michel is the abbey, steeped in history and steep in price!!
Apart from that, nothing to report. Katie her usual self, Sandra too.
Hello people. We had a lovely day today (not often you hear me say that eh? ) Our little trip to Mont St. Michel was very nice. I had to keep asking Ian “what’s this place called again, how do you pronounce it?”. Ian tells me him and Lee were taken on holiday near there when they where younger. He was showing me the part in the Abby they used to run round. Although he mentioned ,several times, that in “his day” they did not have to pay to get in! Katie’s pram got left at the bottom of the million steps this time. I even got to sneak into the touristy knick-knack bit and buy Katie a book about the adventures of Mont St. Michel.
The camper van is still holding together, although, it’s a bit embarrassing when you drive into car parks like the one today. We drove into the car park allocated to “motor homes” and it’s full of these deluxe camper vans that have everything attached to them. Then there is us with our bent wheel, bits hanging off and masking taped all over!!!! We do get a few looks. Ah well not too worry , the van will soon be in that same safe place that sat nav jean went to. Good night folks xxx
