StMalo - Weymouth

Brian and I arrived in St Malo around the same time. He headed for the vehicle check-in and me to the foot passenger. We didn't meet up until we were on the ferry but managed to find seats together.  The first stop was Jersey St Hellier, where we had to change boats. I had been assured that the bag I checked in at St Malo would turn up at Weymouth but that was soon to be the least of our worries. We decided we wanted to find a fish and chip shop but we had to get off separately as Brian had to get the bike off. He made it off first and drove into the town. By the time I had got on shore and realised that town was more than walking distance away, Brian rang me to say that he hadn't found a fish and chip shop but he had run out of petrol! The ferry was leaving in 40 minutes! Luckily the woman in the car behind him, when he ran out at traffic lights, had a can of fuel in the car, enough to get him back to the ferry. She wouldn't accept any money for it. Thank you to her and to all the people who helped me haul a very heavy bag up and down station stairs on my journey.

We had some reasonably nice cooked food on the second ferry followed by a beer.
