So rather than hang around the house waiting to leave when we were ready about two hours early we decided to head of to Gunwharf Quay at Portsmouth harbour and go for a brief walk and have some food and then head off to the ferry to check in. The A3 was pretty busy and so we were pleased we had left early and arrived at The Quays around 13.30. For lunch we went to Five Guys Burger joint, we have used Five Guys in the USA a few times and they knock the spots off Burger king and McDonald's and so we had a nice burger and chips sitting outside in the sun watching the ships go by. At around 14.45 we headed off to the Brittany ferries check in and were surprised to see so many different types of sport cars being loaded from Ferrari's to Maserati to Jags and Ginetta and quite a few Aston’s and sop we presumed it was sport’s club trip. We boarded and went to our cabin and had a cup of tea and then headed off at about 19.15 for dinner, but first having a drink in the bar, where we had to make certain they understood Noels eating issues and they coped well.
After dinner we headed back to the cabin and spent a restful evening reading and Noel listening to music.The Bay of Biscay which is renowned for its poor weather was actually very nice and it was a very smooth crossing indeed.
And so to bed…
