Ouistreham


Late start this morning as it is only 10miles to the ferry port. A thunderstorm woke me at seven o'clock and I feared the worst... However it has been a beautiful morning, sunny, warm and not too windy.

We rode back along the canal from Caen. This isn't the sort of canal we are used to at home, it is 200m wide with container ships going up it. A quick stop for coffee at the Pegasus Bridge again (where I saw a French chap riding a penny-farthing) and then on to the ferry port.

Brittany Ferries have been excellent. They fast-tracked us through onto the boat and had a reserved area with champagne waiting for us; very civilised!
