Hartelijk dank, Johny! Foto is genomen vlak achter de boerderij waar we verbleven. Daar kan je erg mooie wandelingen maken. Voor jou is dit niet ver...uurke of 4 rijden?
I'm lucky to be alive...these sheep are really very, very dangerous :) :)
Inesa Hill
Really? What wrong with them? Why the're dangerous?
Danny Vangenechten
I was only joking! :) :) These sheep are only interested in the grass they eat. They are not dangerous at all. Shame on me :) :)
But what is dangerous in the area of Mont St Michel are the tides. When the high tide comes in it comes in very fast because the bay is not deep. There are signs everywhere telling people that tides and currents come up with the speed of a running horse. People make walks into this area and forget about time...suddenly tides comes up and people get drowned. The tide has enormous strength.
Inesa Hill
Shame on you, Danny:-)!
About the tide I know very well. Once I was nearly caught by it...
Danny Vangenechten
I promise never to do it again ( well...at least not today... :):) )
Inesa Hill
:-) We'll see:-) I'll remember:-)
Inesa Hill
Actually, I just look on the map and seen that area is very shallow.
Danny Vangenechten
Here you can read some explanation about the special and very forceful tides in this area:

Years ago I was with my children on the beach of St Jean le Thomas on the opposite side of the bay of Mt. St. Michel and when the tide was coming up I simpy tried to stand up in the water (which was only deep upto my waist) and I simply couldn't. I was pushed and pulled down into the water. It was quite an experience!
I'm reading about the tides - 'There is in no other place in the world apart from for the Bay of Fundy in Canada, where the tides differ as much as at Mont St Michel where the variation between low tide and high tide can be to the extent of fifteen meters.'
Danny Vangenechten
Fifteen meters is indeed amazing! You see... I didn't lie... when you read this article I'm really lucky to be still alive :):)
Inesa Hill
I believe you, Danny!:-)
Danny Vangenechten
That's very kind of you! Even my own wife doesn't always believe me anymore (but I must admit...she has good reason :) :) )
Inesa Hill
I feel sorry for your wife, Danny:-) She knows you better:-)
