Travel to France, Lower Normandy, Mont Saint-Michel.


We solved partly the hard bed last night by putting the two deck chair pads under the bottom sheet to provide some softness and also to stop the ‘roll together’ in what was just a standard size double bed.It worked pretty well and our sleep was better than the night before.

Today we had planned to take a scenic road along the coast towards Mont-St-Michel(hereafter called MSM) which is essentially an island a kilometre off the coast but connected to the mainland by a causeway which in 1879 was upgraded so that access could be achieved no matter the level of the tide.

We arrived on the coast at the very French named town of Meloir-des-Ondes and started the 37km run along the coast.

Part way along we took a stop at a small tourist shop after noticing a number of round stone towers dotted along the road.Eventually we came to one that had what had been missing from the rest of them that we had passed,a windmill.It made for a good photo opportunity.
