SAINT MALO - JULY 2007

Last leg of a long trip round France last summer. Stopped off for the night here to catch the ferry in the morning.

This Ibis was OK. A bit sleepy and a bracing walk along the sea front from the main town. Not too far though and fantastic sea views if you like that sort of thing.

Very clean and excellent bathrooms (see pic).

A bit of a bar area with a decent selection of wines including quite a few half bottles which is always a good thing I think.

Saint Malo is suprisingly nice for a ferry port. Big beach. Walled town and plenty of nightlife, restaurants and bars.

Had had enough by then though and ready for home. I'd go back one day for a couple of days just to stay there though.

Bought a nice bottle of Calvados as well.













Interesting key fob as well, if you like that kind of thing. Which I do!!

I am not a drinker but I do like the look of the bottle. Seems you had a trip with nice memories

The bottle is now alas empty but it now contains some nice Olive Oil bought in pamplona during the same trip. People think stuff like this is a bit sad but I think its what life is for. The small pleasures make up the big picture.
