We arose about 0730 and following a quick pack and had breakfast in the Hotel before heading across the road to the car park for the car. We departed Tours around 0830 is and headed very quickly to the Motorway and the North.
We needed to purchase some fuel which is bloody expensive in France compared to the UK, god knows why, and then continued with
a full tank and arrived in Caen and the traffic around the Perifique was at its usual slow pace but we arrived at the Port at about 11.40 for a 1400 departure.
The ship was quite busy but enjoyed a cabin where you could rest and listen to my musing and Jennifer read her book after we had a cheap lunch in the canteen style restaurant. We did consider the main restaurant on board which is good but the prices are quite steep now.
It was a lovely day as we arrived Via the Isle of Wight and in to Portsmouth harbour and 45 minutes after arriving we had gone thro UK Immigration and on our way back home where we arrived at just about 2100.
Well that the end of this trip which was most enjoyable with the family and only some personal circumstance change and the hot weather made is change our plans. Have to start planning the next trip soon.
See YAH
