The Trip from France
Friday, May 16, 2014 at 7:40PM Another late breakfast at our hotel in St Malo followed by a morning reading in the beachfront bar.
About 11 we had a short taxi ride to the ferry port. The ferry departed on time and on calm seas.
It only took about 2 hours to get from St Malo to Saint Peter Port in Guernsey. The ride was smooth and again I managed to sleep for most it - I think all of those boring flights to and from Ireland earlier in the year has enhanced my ability to sleep on most forms of mass transit…
The bags were waiting for us by the time we went through passport control and the trip through customs was uneventful.
Our cab arrived five minutes after ordering through the courtesy phone and we were on our way to the hotel. I’m glad in a way that I’m not driving over here - the roads are very narrow an the other drivers look, at least initially, like maniacs!!
We were arrived at about ten to two - the bar closed for two for food orders but they were king enough to hold the kitchen long enough for us to order some lunch.
After lunch was the rest of the checking in process and time to unpack.
The evening meal was in the hotel’s restaurant and was pleasant enough - the food was OK but nothing to really write home about [except for that last sentence :-) ]
