Le Havre - May 17th

After 3 more days on The Atlantic it was good to see land once more, even if through a grey mist! We got off the ship to visit the town as early as we could via a shuttle bus, and thought the lack of activity must be down to us being early for once and a laid back French approach to life. Turned out that it was Ascension Day, a national holiday in France, and just about everywhere was shut. We did our best to make a day of it and managed to get coffee etc.. and then searched for internet places which were marked on a map of the town - of course all of these were shut so we finally gave up and returned to the port, only to find that it had a 'Wi-Fi' area at 'The Cruise Welcome Centre', which is pretty much all they did have. We managed to get our Travelpod and picture site updated and then returned to the ship which by now was enjoying some late sun - that raised our hopes that 'blighty might greet us with sunshine the next day!!
