Mont St. Michel: had a beautiful and problem free drive to Mont St. Michel (PTL) and before getting on the causeway, even stopped by the supermarche to pick up some fruit. Yes, we notice that people here do not seem to eat much fruit or vegetables and our systems are feeling all the rich food. Got parked and realized that hauling our big luggage up the wooden ramps/cobblestone to the hotel inside the town would not be wise, so we impromptu packed our knapsacks wi...

Bayuex: Slept in this morning until 8 am and took our time getting to La Reine Mathilde Patisserie. Unfortunately, it wasn't opened at 9:15 - huh? What time do people go to work on Monday morning? Stopped by a local bakery and bought some pastries for breakfast, but on the way out, saw some fresh mini quiches, so bought those too! Loaded the car up and headed over to the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum. Saw a good film about the battle of Normandy and the Al...

Bayeux: Pete drove like the wind to Bayeux, and got us here by 4 pm. Then, because the sights we were scheduled to see this afternoon closed at 6 pm, we champed it.

Then with 45 minutes left before closing, we high t...

Honfleur: This morning, the room was filled with sunlight and it woke us up at 6am. We took our time getting up and dressed before heading out to Amanda's B&B cafe for a delicious breakfast of croissants, fresh baguette avec beurre et confiture, fresh coffee with warm milk and homemade apple juice - Honfleur's specialty. Her son Ben spent some time helping us try to set up that darned sim card. No luck. We gave up and set off at 10 to do the quick Jetty wal...

Did a quick drive by of Roeun b/c of lost time and made it to Honfleur B&B at 8:30. However, when we got there, the hostess realized that she had double booked us. Were we gong to have to sleep in our car? Amanda found a substitute 3 room apartment around the corner with breakfast at her cafe included. The best part was it was free! Honfleur: After dropping our stuff off, we set off to the quay to find a place for dinner. But first, some evening shots with t...
