• Mont Saint Michel-ebrate good times🥳

    September 12 in France ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    A day to remember today at Mont St Michel. An early morning and bus transfer awaited us, but it was worth the trip to visit somewhere on the bucket list!

    We were pleasantly surprised by the sun making an appearance as we'd been expecting 12 degrees but it was more like 22.

    There was an option of a shuttle bus to get down to the mount itself but we decided to walk instead which was a beautiful meandering stroll along the bridge with incredible views. When we arrived we couldn't believe the crowds, we were sardines in the little streets, but was still lovely to wander around the picturesque cobbled streets and old-fashioned shops.

    We decided we definitely wanted to visit the Abbey which did have a lengthy queue, but was worth it to get some of the best views and see the architecture of the Abbey. We were surprised by how much there was to see. We decided due to time constraints we would read about all the history later (which i need to make a note to self to actually do!)

    We then walked up and down many streets, found a quick bite to eat and enjoyed just watching the world pass by. We then walked back along the bridge to the coach. It was a really scenic drive through cute little villages which was lovely.

    This evening we had dinner and watched a Michael Jackson show which was surprisingly amazing!

    Back to Southampton tomorrow 😢
