The noise last night from the port didn't bother us. Having lived in Poole for nearly five years we were used to the sounds of this working port. Up just after the lark, we joined the check in queue for the ferry.
Marge sailed through security without attracting the attention of the staff. Well done Marge, not like you. Today is the official start of Marge's meandering, mesmerizing, marvellous, memorable road trip to Morocco. Did you hear that Marge? And by memorable we mean nice memories! With access to YouTube, the sailing across seemed to pass quickly. We are following a couple who are driving around the world over four years in their TD5 Land Rover Defender. Known on YouTube as the 'Jammy Gits' Mitch and Martha keep us entertained and inspired every week when we catch up on their travels. Normally upon arriving in France we tend to do a supermarket shop, and stop overnight some where not too far from down the coast.
This time though, albeit tired, we were keen to get some miles under our belt so pressed on down the Contentin peninsula to the pretty little medieval town of Villedieu-Les-Poeles- Rouffigny. Known as the city of copper because of its many talented copper artisans.
Marge secured the last space on the aire.
Our neighbours are thankfully both English, as Angela had forgotten the corkscrew. Asking the English to borrow theirs saved the humiliation of being laughed out of town by the French. Honestly. Who forgets to bring a corkscrew to France!
