Brive - Day 5 - January 22nd

Day 5


Up early for Breakfast as we had a six hour non stop car ride ahead of us if we were to catch our ferry in Le Havre,

Breakfast at the hotel was really good.  I would recommend this hotel to anybody wanting to stay a few days in Brive.  I can't take any of the credit for it though, Thomas found and booked it.

Plenty of choice for breakfast







When we had finished we packed the car, defrosted the windows and set of at 10.00am.  Our boat was to leave at 17.00 giving us just six hours to check in at the allotted time and it would prove to be a solid 6 hour drive via Limoges, Orleons, skirting around Paris and by passing Rouen.  We took it in one hour driving stages and we did OK.  We were glad to arrive at Le Havre though and see the boat waiting for us.

This time we had gone over the Pont de Tancarville, not under it.

Our ferry in Port

We had booked a cabin so, after a meal we were able to get a few hours sleep before we arrived back in Portsmouth to begin the last two hour drive of our trip.  Back home to Newport.
