Rained out in St Malo!

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Oh look, the writing in the post about Jersey is all screwey but it’s staying that way!!!

I think the weather gods heard me planning my day of sunbaking in St Malo, and so whilst in Jersey after umming and ahhing over the cost of the return Ferry to France, we booked it at about 11:30pm, to leave on the HDFerry at about 07:30 Wednesday morning and returning at 22:00 that evening. Well when I woke up, early (even before my alarm!) I could hear a noise outside and after thinking it was probably unlikely to be someone watering the roads I looked out the blinds and saw rain! Bucketing rain and cold winds and no, the ferry doesn’t get cancelled due to rough seas!

Mara and I quite enjoyed St Malo France, however it would have been much better with sunny and warm weather! We spent most of the day in the ‘walled city’ and stayed in restaurants, cafes and shops in-between dodging the rain storms! The weather did eventually clear up from about 5pm onwards which was nice. But yes, the day was overly pretty good and we tasted lots of French cuisine and I bought some proper gold earrings (to stop the infection in my newly pierced ears) and also a small handbag to carry my things if I ever go out partying (hehe). Everything seemed a little cheaper than in the UK as it was all Euros!
