Mont St Michel, Dinan, Nantes, Rochefort, pause for breath

In the queue to get into Mont St Michel. Come back in winter.
Tried to get to Mont St Michel in the morning. Got there at about 11am. Big mistake. Needed to go to the toilet. Queued up for a while, then couldn't hold on for much more time, so had to get out of the queue, and get back to the visitor centre via the bus shuttle. Everyone else gave up, and we kept driving on.




Beautiful Dinan
Dinan
Visited Dinan after getting lost a bit. A super well preserved medieval town.




Stayed the night in Nantes, a nice old town, lots of stone buildings, nice cathedral. Sadly the trip is being sped up to get home on time.




Barflies in Dinan
Stopped at Rochefort. One of the teachers at school is from here. Spoke to the guy at the bar. John told him all about Australia. Saw an old boat in the dry dock. The river seems silted up here.




Got to Bordeaux in the afternoon. The campground is pretty good, some grass, a pool, a jumping castle, and not too many cars so the boys can skate board a bit.
