Le Mont St Michel
David had told us last night that this was very commercial
and it sure was. As we approached the town you could see the Mont looming
through the haze. You can’t drive your car right to the town but need to park a
few K away and they run courtesy shuttle buses. There were literally thousands
of cars and more than that in people as tour buses rolled up one after the
other.

No problems getting a bus to the village, but the crush of
people there in the main walkway up to the abbey was very unpleasant. We tried
to get away from the crowd but it just wasn’t possible. It’s not even summer
yet, or a weekend, happy we are out of season!

We did a quick tour of the village and then headed back by
bus to get lunch somewhere less crowded. We took a short drive along the beach and stopped for a short walk where we saw this couple having their wedding photos done.

Tonight we are at a farmstay B&B –
I thought I had good directions this time but it still took a few wrong turns
to find it. Our hostess tonight doesn’t speak much English so I really have to
dig deep into the memory banks to make conversation.
