Doing it the french way
We planned to stay in a campsite in Fecamp. We got there in time, to find that it was closed 'exceptionel' for one day!!!!!!
So we thought we would have a drive around and see if we could find anywhere to stop. Several motorhomes seemed to be making their way to the port, and as we had been to Fecamp 15 years ago it looked like a good idea to see what was there. From the north side of the harbour, it ...
Never too old to watch Tinkerbell!
What a full day today! Was up at 6 30, and running by 7. It's a great time of day, sooo cold and the light was just beginning to shine through. There is a stillness as you pound the pavement, whatching your breath routinely appear before you. It's so silent (as most normal people are in bed!!). Did a spot of yoga when I got back, before I had a shower ...

On the way we stop at a beautiful hotel, St Ferme,which has an authentic old Normandy style house in the grounds with a reed thatch roof and an old apple ...

... at 4:45 Pm and found that my train was one of the last trains from the station on that day. So, station was bit empty and most of the passengers were looking tired just wanting to somehow pass this last journey towards their homes and then , fall asleep on their comfy beds. I was also quite exhausted because of less sleep last night and traveling whole day on foot in Le Havre. I knew that my trip was nothing like a touristic trip as I haven’t visited any of the Museums ...
