Getting to France

Verity and I could get off early to drive to Canterbury to stay with our old College friend Estelle but Tom and Helen only got there at 1am. We had the pleasure of a tour round the ancient city and attending Evensong with Justin. He must have had trouble walking because he needed a big crook to lean on.

The next day we had to cram our bikes and luggage into the back and the four us into the front. Cosy....

The it was a simple ride in the rain to the port and hanging around for three hours waiting  to board. After a nice meal and a good night's sleep we woke to see St Malo (almost) appearing out of the mist. Warning! Do not attempt to clomp down the ferry's stairs in cycle shoes if you don't want to fall and graze your elbow.

Then off down the ramp to start the real holiday.
BTW this is the second attempt after the post got deleted. Let's hope it works.
