The Real Minas Tirith

I remember the day I first saw Cinderella's castle in Disney World, but today a sight that surpasses that piece of architectural genius. We first saw Mont Sant-Michel about 15 miles away, this unique Tracey Island feature that rises out of the ocean. When we got within 1 mile it was spellbinding and we travelled the causeway to explore further. It truly is a wonder of the world and whilst Thunderbird 1 & 2 were nowhere to be seen, it really took our breaths away. It is a rocky tidal island that has been built up since 8th century and now houses the most spectacular gothic style church. The abbey and its adjoining cloisters, courtyards, crypts and chapels are amazing and the use of natural light add to the atmosphere. It also houses one of the finest omelette houses with Margaret Thatcher, Trotsky and Bill Clinton claiming they make best omelettes in world. If its good enough for Maggie is good enough for me, but alas the €30 a pop was outside my daily allowance. Was meant to return to take twilight pictures but alas the rain was too heavy or the jug of cider at hotel too appealing. Dinner included scallops in garlic and parsley butter, young rabbit in cider, salmon & sea bass with grapefruit, cod in beer batter, cheeses and rhubarb mouse with raspberries. Not sure what anyone else had!
