Up early for Poole, pretty uneventful journey except for the guy in a 4x4 that chased us and tried to run us off the road because we wouldn't leave a gap for him when he ran up the inside of the queue at road works.
Arrived in Poole before the check-in opened and then the ferry was delayed, so we eventually left for France via Jersey about an hour and a half late.
On check in, we were informed that no motorhomes were booked on today and there wasn't room but after some polite conversation about how is said motorhome on our booking confirmation, there was room after all. Our van is 3.07 meters high, the maximum height for the ferry is 3.1 meters, very scary loading, the people in the small van loading behind us said, they didn't think we wound make it.
The ferry was quite nice but a lot smaller that we were used to, it didn't have much outside space and it isn't until it gets up to about 30mph that you realise why. It was very crowded so we had to use the allocated seats, apparently you can usually sit where you want, also we stopped off in Jersey, something I hadn't expected, mustn't have read the brochure properly. The trip took about five hours altogether, plus the one hour time difference, so we arrived at about 21:00.
 | St-Malo Camping la Cité d'Alet Allée Gaston Buy. 35400 Saint-Malo |
The plan for St Malo was to check in to the campsite then head to the old town for a walk round the walls and have a couple of beers but as we where late we didn't think we would get this done. When I arranged the site, I was told that there would be no one the site when we arrived and to just park up and pay in the morning. Well there was and I had to fill in forms, then the pitch we set up on had no electricity, so we had to move, by this it was even later but we set off for the walk anyway. By the time we got there it was about 21:45 and getting too dark for photos but we still managed to walk part of the walls and then as it started to rain, we popped into a bar for a beer.
