Saint Malo

 Our next five days was in a lovely apartment overlooking a bay just south of Saint Malo's walled city. We loved sitting near the window watching the enormous fluctuations of the tide and the dauly activity. Free parking outside meant we did little driving, but we managed outings to the fascinating old city of Dinan and the oyster and seafood town of Cancale.

We had a great seafood meal tasting the famous oysters, as we watched tractors hauling loads of oysters up from the beac in Cancale. We also took the ferry across the bay from St Malo to Dinard, where there were beautiful mansions from the Victorian era.

Sandra and I were able to prepare seafood meals in the best equipped kitchen so far. The only drawback is that Gail and I again got the second best room near a bar that was too popular by half.
