Last 2 days in London, Jersey and St Malo

On the Wednesday in London the weather was rather wet and soggy so we decided to do things inside. We visited Harrods and the Art Gallery. Felt rather under dressed for Harrods and we were quite wet by the time we got there as we decided to walk before it started raining! One dress was 2,700 pounds and was a little out of our price range. We then found the food hall and were amazed at all the lovely goodies on offer to buy. After looking at all the beautiful cakes Paul's comment to Judith was 'We could go halves in a scone!". We did end up buying a couple of nice things to share. The caviar was also out of our price range.

On the Thursday we walked around London to places which we had been to in the first 4 days just to recap and also see them in sunshine. In the evening we went to see The Lion King.

We left London on Friday morning, and employing the 'Just in time' management strategy caught our flight to Jersey. The plan was to catch the tube to another rail station and then the Gatwick Express train to the airport. Just no one told us the tube didn't start operating until 6am. We lost 15 mins waiting at the tube and another 15 mins waiting for the Gatwick Express, to just get our baggage onto the plane with 2 mins to spare. A 35 min flight and we were in Jersey by 10am.

We met another of Judith's long-term friends - Jennifer - and spent 3 days with her and her daughters.

The rest of Friday was wet so we generally drove 1/2 of the island and went to a local zoo.
Saturday was spent firstly in the War Tunnels and then at a Castle on the coast line.
Out for an awesome seafood feast with Jennifer and Andy.
Sunday included another drive around the awesome coastline and an extended walk.
Paul then cooked for the family that evening - having 5 weeks withdrawl from the kitchen.

This morning we awoke and caught the ferry to St Malo in France. Plans haven't gone quite to plan as the hotel was not available until 4:30pm and we've lugged bags with us for most of the day. We were able to leave then in the reception of another hotel as long as we bought coffee or wine....two glasses of blanc seemed like a reasonable price for luggage minding.

Once we had dropped our luggage off we walked the wall around the old part of St Malo.
Only half a day here before heading off to Mont St Michel tomorrow.

Goodbye from me and my new friend.
