Yesterday was Belle lle, or beautiful island and it was beautiful but wet. It was tiny and uniform with quaint little white houses and cliffs that dropped to the sea.
We moved on overnight and awoke at Saint Malo. Lucky we had cancelled the tour that we had originally booked to go to Drinan as once ashore we found you could get the local ferry for €7.50 return and it only took 10 mins whereas the bus was 45 minutes and a yappy tour guide with no doubt an umbrella. We wandered our near half marathon through Saint Malo and Drinan until our feet hurt and thighs ached and then tendered back to the ship.
The tides here are amazing they are 11 metres. Check out the tidal swimming pool above and then 5 hours later below. Note how you can now walk out to and around the islands.
Really wanted to eat at a creperie’ but it was not to be as we weren’t hungry at lunch time so we wandered the streets as all the shops were closed for lunch and then about 3pm decided we were peckish but the creperie were closed and the shops were open.
Alas we leave France tonight and head to St Peters port in Guernsey and have not eaten at a creperie or had the menu du jour, oh well until next time. This is definitely a place I am coming back too so it is easy to say next time. Here I could do nothing but watch the rise and fall of the tide.
tips for saint malo and surrounds.
just catch the local transport it’s regular and reasonable
eat your crepe before 3pm
if you walk out to the islands at low tide watch the tides as they zoom in faster than anything I have seen.
walk around the rampart wall when you get here and then again when you leave and take a photo in the same spot.

i actually like the cruise ship which I have always been unsure about. My main fears are the weather, dressing up and annoying people.
Firstly we have been very blessed with the weather. I know that the rain has been annoying and ongoing now nearly everyday but the sea has been calm so I will take that anyday.
The food is amazing and whilst you can continue to eat copious amounts of buffet style food you can also go and get a sandwich or salad from a lounge bar. Breakfast we have eaten in our room or in the lounge where you can just grab some fruit and yoghurt or a croissant, with the exception of today when we ventured into the breakfast buffet and it reminded me of why I don’t go there as it is definitely a see food buffet and should be reserved for once a week fare, they even had the dreaded baguettes.
Last night we went to dinner at one of the finer dining restaurants and it was very nice but we sat next to this couple who bickered all the time and it was a real pain. Then there was a lady literally four tables away who was so loud you heard every solitary word she said, although solitary word is the wrong I should say running commentary. I kept thinking of WP and her “people are funny” she says in regard to annoying or obnoxious people.
Last night was the first night WH had done the jacket thing as the other restaurants have all been delicious but we have avoided the formal night when we have eaten delicious steaks at the grill bar, or Italian at the terrace lounge. The whole dressing up for dinner was one of biggest concerns in regard to cruising and also the mass dining thing but on this ship it has all been very good and all meals have been delicious.
there is certainly enough spaces to get away from any annoying people, not that we have found any apart from last nights dinner. Your cabin balcony is great for a G&T whilst you watch the sailing race below and write your blog and think about where to go for dinner. I must admit to actually at this moment wanting my kitchen where I can cook beans, broccoli, mashed potato and maybe a fresh piece a grilled snapper. (They have nz lamb on here which I have had twice so not missing my chops)
gotta go now but so will have to tell the story about the ladies fighting in the laundry room another day. People are funny.
