Day 26: St Malo

Today I found the tourists and to a lesser extent, the good weather.

First though a dreary hour-long slog to the hypermarket, followed by a dreary half-hour slog to the station.

Things improved when I ate my picnic lunch and set off into the Old Town - Intra Muros - surrounded by ramparts. This was definitely the tourist trap, although the traditional French pastimes of boules and ignoring foreigners continued. [Andy: Boo. Why the racism?]

Time passed. Not much happened. The sun set.
