Put the wrong aire into the satnav and went to cabourg.
Got the bikes out and Paula has a puncture so changed that and 2 English came for a chat so I forgot to reattach a bit which seems relatively important.
We set off and got past the harbour
Paula has to lift the rear wheel and push it back to the motorhome. I did cycle back and then walk back to meet her to offer encouragement but she insisted I assist.
Couldn't see anyway to release this inner brake. So we had lunch and then thought. Why don't we just go home. We would only spend the day driving to bike shops who wouldn't be open or say we can fix it tomorrow.
We looked to change the ferry and did so but internet bottomed out at payment point but booking says we have changed and just owe 20 quid.
Set the sat nav and back roads galore to Rouen and then easily the biggest traffic jam we have seen in some years in Rouen at the bridge. We averaged 23mph from Dives to the motorway the other side of Rouen.
We thought Watten, Wissant, the blockhouse near Watten or Montreuil and kept changing ideas and even included auchan at Boulogne at one stage but settled on montreuil and see what happened when it was full upon arrival.
It wasn't. Well it was, but we got in.
So pleased and relieved to get in at 2010 hrs we went and our first meal out of kebab and chips
