Quote of the day: “They told me I was too early to sign in for the tour. I told them what I thought. This always happens. They seem to forget that we are the guests on this ship. Well I’ll have something to say to them about this later, believe me.” Another Aussie making life miserable for himself.
Our final port on this sector of the cruise, and my last day before going “solo”. We decided to head for Honfleur, about 30 minutes drive from the ship. This is a delightful fishing village with a long history, and a lot of very old buildings and churches. It’s also described as the town where Impressionism began, and today is still the home of many artists, galleries and shops selling locally produced paintings. It has a lovely atmosphere, despite being quite popular with tourists, and we spent a couple of hours wandering around the quaint streets, sipping coffee and snacking on croissants… what a wonderful way to pass the morning!
After lunch back at HQ, we went into Le Havre for a look around, but found it quite uninspiring after our morning excursion. We did a few essentials, then back to the ship for a final dinner with J and A, our lovely dinner companions. We’ve had some great laughs with them, and hope we meet up again some day.
Hi Philip!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read your reports. I'm amazed by how many things you can do in a single day, you're really making good use of your time on land!
Have you tried spreading your own rumours yet? It must be fun! :-)
Hope you do well on the solo part of your trip!
Cheers!
We are having so much fun reading your blog. I even finally figured out how to be an official follower. Hope you are well, and adjust to your solo flight.
