Well, we've not had the 36 degrees and clear sunshine we had hoped for. Indeed, il pleut quite a bit. But despite all that things have been going really well now that they journey is behind us. Today we headed towards the coast and saw the amazing Mont St Michel (pictured) - a whole town and abbey stuck in a sea of sand. This was the first time really that many of us had a chance to use that French for essential survival - crêpes! In the afternoon we went further along the coast to St Malo for a walk along the medieval streets. Here's what everyone else had to say:
Daniel
Hi mum and dad. I liked going up the top of the Mont St Michel. I loved the crepes and I asked for it in French.
Rowan
Hi mum and dad. The journeyg was quite tiring but it;’s OK now. I liked the new food that I tried. Tomorrow we have a match Scotland versus England. There’s a school in the chateau that comes from England and we’re going top play rugby with them. We are anticipating victory,

Well, the English Channel at least. After a relatively quiet and easy trip down to Dover we've met up with our driver for the rest of the trip. Having left you all back home in the rain and gloom of a wet Wednesday night in Musselburgh we arrived in Dover this morning to a beautiful, bright sunrise against the cliffs. We're getting a slightly later boat than expected (7.55am) but will not have too much of a delay in getting to the Château this afternoon. Miss. Leroux.
Tears, tears and some cheers, too, as everyone left this evening in the pouring rain. Let's just hope we're off to warmer climes. Very nice coach, very comfortable. It's that red coach we've seen parked in Bayeux on previous trips and dreamed of having for ourselves ;-)
