Mont Saint Michel

Our fourth day of hiking! We got going pretty early from La Vivier Sur Mer. We headed out without breakfast - although our hotel offered it, we figured it would be overpriced and meh, based on dinner last night.

About three miles in, we found a cute coffeeshop on the beach and enjoyed coffees and crepes (again!!), as that's all they offered this time of day. Was quite nice.

Back on the trail, we started walking. This stretch is very flat, following a levee between the water and farms. And more of this for the remaining 10 miles. Really nowhere to stop for a break or lunch, no towns. The walk was kinda boring, but it was cool that Mont Saint Michel was visible straight ahead of us for pretty much the whole walk.

We finally rolled into the little town on the mainland side of MSM at 1:45, and really needed lunch. This area is just set up for tours, tour groups, tour buses, etc. Completely lacking charm or interest. But we found a cafeteria and got a reasonably decent burger.

Back to our feet, we walked another 2.5 miles inland to our farm-stay Airbnb. It's cute, but we are in the middle of nowhere.

After a rest, Bill biked into the nearby town of Pontorson for some groceries. Which is how we ended up eating take-n-bake pizza cooked in a toaster oven.
