OK, I have been awful at updating the blog, so I have decided to make a fresh start and make sure I update it more regularly in future.
The weekend of the 1st and the 2nd of June, to refresh ourselves we stayed at a campsite for a couple of nights so we could watch the rugby and the football, and do some washing and stuff.
On the 3rd of June we left the campsite and headed to a lovely spot called Beauvior that overlooks Mont Saint Michel.
On the 4th, we were going to walk to the Mont, but the weather didn't look too good, so we decided to stay close to home and just go for a walk around the town. we went to visit a fully restored and operational windmill named Moulin de Moidrey which was a great place to visit. It was built in 1806 and restored to working order in 2003. The dude running the place does guided tours and sells flour and stuff from the ground floor. While we were there, the wind had obviously changed direction a bit, and he went outside and pushed the whole roof around with the sails attached with a great lump of wood. We also saw some birds of prey, but we were unable to identify them or take any photos. Then we went down into the town to grab some coffee and bread, and then back to the van.
Here are a few random photos that we took on our walk :-)
Tomorrow we're going to walk the 5km (1hr 3mins according to google maps) to Mont Saint Michel and back.
Lovely pics Tim. The sky is blue so you're already where we all wish we were, away from the grey skies here. Can we see a photo of Brian too coz he will change along with you two on this journey so it's only fair he gets some exposure too! Enjoy your journey xx
