Hi there
Well the boat trip was fine - very calm and very quite. Not sure why people pay for the reclining seats - most of them slept on the floor... me to. I hate to say it but Pat in the office was right; upgrade to a cabin!
The boat landed on time at 6.30 French time (that's 5.30 UK time) so it was an early start !! After a quick loop of Caen and then Gertie Garmin settled down and we were heading south along with so many faster bikes in a hurry.
Steady run down and the only problem I encountered was finding a Petrol station that was open on the back roads... Oh yes - MAJOR disaster - have swapped mobile handset for an old Blackberry because it was easier to use sending text back home --- the bloody thing won't work in France - bugger!
Found the camp site and am sitting in the bar writing this. I did some cooking - the boil in the bag stuff - well - I will give it one more try tomorrow - tasted aweful.. Thats the expensive dry travel stuff - if the Army K stuff tastes like that then it will all go in the bin. I tried the Ration Pack Instant tea - OMG dreadful.... Now sipping a large glass of 1664 larger.,, Nite Nite
