Money St Michel

We were lucky to take this picture without losing our car and our money. This place is awesome but a tourist trap.

Mont St Michel is a self-contained island rock complete with town and abbey. A single strip of land with road connects it with the rest of the world. The car park is only useable at low tide, otherwise your car turns into a submarine!

Meanwhile on the island you pay for everything - even a piss - there is a ticket office at the dunnies and you pay 50 cents a shot!

  1. Watch out for the Gypsies begging for money. It may be worth learning some very rude French words like "Taint Pis" (I think this means I don't care, or something like that - just try it).

    Look forward to more news!!! Seeya.
