Full English x 2 (yum) and now taking in the air on deck.  Booked into the Cinema at 3:30pm for Baby Driver.  Great ship 🚢 – little cruise liner – lots going on including a Sleeping Beauty Panto this afternoon !!! Xxx

Awww- look at the poor little puddy 😐 – Dave couldn’t cope when the kids had caged hamsters so we upgraded to cats and a cat-flap as he said they were free to come & go… xxx

So just gone 7pm and still really warm – and not only is it my last bask in the sunshine ☀️ but (more worryingly) I’m on my last wine – look – the empty box of Muscadet is on the floor behind me…

Dave’s got some crap red that he said he was chucking – but hey – I have 7-Up and orange juice – so I feel a jug of sangria coming on – phew – thank God I’m resourceful in a crisis !!! 😂 Xxx

So sat in one of main drags opposite a little art market in front of the city wall – at Maison Hector.

Dave ordered a beer and I ordered 50cl of Breton Cidre – and this little ceramic jug and a matching tea cup turned up !!!  Also 5 (was 6 but the waitress dropped one 😂) what looked like mini Yorkshire Puddings and some paste. It was like tuna mayo – yum !!!

Dave then ordered Moules Roquefort & Frites and I had a galette – which is basically a savoury pancake – and my filling was jambon, champignons & fromage with the customary “a Egg” in the centre – see below.  I also had frites 🍟 – and it was all delicious 😋

Then I had an Earl Grey (they don’t seem to do English Breakfast Tea) and they served it in the cutest little cast iron kettle – see below…

Left the place STUFFED and was on a mission to get a little ceramic pitcher and 2 matching teacups – mission accomplished (no piccie as alll wrapped up)… xxx

So our last day – had breky outside and the peeps opposite had two little yippers – but they looked SO cute in his bicycle basket – awwww !!!

Had a shower, got ready and then the half hour short blast to St Malo on The Duke.

Had a wander around the bustling cobbled streets bursting with tourists, tat shops and bistros (many of the fishy variety)…

The cathedral was impressive – lit a candle, said a prayer and took a piccie…

Like Vannes, St Malo is also a walled city and that’s us up on the top of the wall admiring the view…

Lunch post to follow… xxx
