We had a cosy night in our little cabin the previous night. It thundered and rained and we were pleased to be snug in our Mobil home.

It was a wonderful start to the day, riding along the beach front, the sun shining and the weather warm. It was one of those days where everything seemed perfect. Quiet country roads and amazing views.

We stopped for lunch overlooking Mont Saint Michel which is a monestary built on an island. We made ourselves a healthy lunch of lettuce, cucumber, strawberries, eggs, and Parma ham. It was delicious, almost better than a restaurant.

In the afternoon my knee started playing up. I’ve had problems with it before, and I think it’s due to overuse. I tried peddling with just the other leg but the circular action was hurting. I had no problem walking.

We found a table and chairs overlooking the monestery and I was able to rest my knee and gave the muscles around it a good massage and this has helped.

We passed a lot of pilgrims today, probably walking to the monestery. It’s a long weekend here and also a religious weekend so it’s gonna be busy!

We cycled 51 kms today and are at the campground closest to the Mont-Saint-Michel. Thunder is rumbling all around us and the skies are very black.

All of the restaurants were booked out and we had to wait until 8pm to get a meal. We both had a burger and chips, too tired to bother cooking a meal. We’ll probably stay at this campground for two nights to have a rest.

We’ll go and visit the monestery tomorrow.
