We are still in Normandy, in Northern France and the suns sets about 11pm and rises about 6pm. Our body clocks are completely hay-wire.
Last night, with the children still wide awake and active at 8.30pm we decided to make a trip to Mont Saint Michel, an abbey built on a small estuary off the eastern coast of France. The drive was approximately 1 1/2 hours, but to see Mont Saint Michel at dusk is a real treat we will never forget. We strolled through the streets, bought gelati and enjoyed the fantastic views.
We were blown away! Here are some of the photos we took last night!

We got back to our hotel in Bayeux at about 1am but it was well worth the drive!

Wow!
How will you want to come home after these experiences. Gab, your descriptions are so moving. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Looking forward to your return to what will seem like quaint Mornington!
School news - building progressing well. Sign off on new uniforms, starting next year - eg sport uniform will be dark blue with a thick light blue band down both arms and and gold line to highlight it. It looks really good. Reports home this week and holidays in a couple of weeks. Just as you're coming home.
Enjoy the remainder of your stay.
I'm really enjoying reading your updates!!!
Sending our best wishes to you all - a family who opened their doors to us upon our arrival - experiencing those values you are so enjoying receiving during your stay is Europe and which you already possess.
