27/4- 6/5On our first day in Northern Britagne we caught the three trains to St Malo and spent more time off trains than on!! Hostel LOVELY and awesome brekky! We just spent a day riding round St Malo and nearby towns.
We then rode to Dinan. It started off nice but then got a bit hairy. We stacked right in front of the info office!! School group staying here were very noisy!! Next day it rained non nonstop, but on the Canal, it was OK. We have our own ACTUAL HOUSE to stay in for the night!!
We rode a very hilly ride to Pleine-Fougeres it was very quiet 
because it was a holiday so we had plain ol' basmati RICE for dinner!!
YUK. Yann (hostel man) was actually scraping food off trays that
wasnt being eaten by a walking group, into the bin and we had RICE!
We had to rearrange beds so we could stay because the walking group had booked out the WHOLE HOSTEL!
Next day we rode to Pontorson! I learned to count to 10 in French... YAY! We accidentally ended up finishing a bike and running race and everyone was cheering us on! Quite FUNNY!! Yann dropped off our cateye magnet because he was going to buy a bike and we got it for FREE cos he didnt tell us he was at the Hostel dropping it off!
The day after we went and visited Mont Saint Michel. It is beautiful!

I made friends with a very handsome fellow!!!!
This carpark is often underwater, as Mont-Saint-Michel has the largest tidal difference in Europe, so when the tide comes in, your car may become a boat if you don't leave in time!!
and had dinner beside the beach. Got up very early
We made pizza for dinner. We woke up early the next morning and had a headwind the WHOLE way to Concale! Another School group! VERYYYY NOISY!
The next day we only rode 20km back to St Malo
The next day we only rode 20km back to St Malo
and had dinner beside the beach. Got up very early the next morning and caught the train to Nantes, which is
a town on the Loire River.
We did a short ride there that afternoon along a forest path and saw a snake, just like Kajika (or so we thought!!). It turns out that these little vipers are the most deadly snake in Europe and if you get bitten you have less than 2 hours to seek treatment or you are KAPUT!!!!! NICE!!!
