The last train leg was from Paris to St Malo. The ticket for the french highspeed rail required a top-up fee as well. We did not budget for that so kudos for the ATM inventor saving us again.
St Malo was a beautiful french town next to the English Channels. We had a day to chill. Dinner at St Malo was awesome seafood. The biggest pot of mussels I ever had and chips. Yummy!! The house white wine was silky smooth as well. Amazing.
Since Jesse booked the accommodation, he specified a double room, which he later “explained” was the only option available, (Ok Jesse). It was the last night of bedsharing which was sad purely in a bromantic way but I was totally comfortable with that. Again, bromantically speaking, it is not gay when there is no touching.
St Malo old town. The wall that surrounded the town added extra character to the little port town. There was a citadel, beautiful old buildings and a length beach. This was planned as a night stop for us to catch the ferry to Jersey on the next day.
WWII fortifications dotted around the place overlooking the coast. It was hard to imagine the battles fought on these lands 70 years ago.
