Rough seas and a cold wind on our way out of the country!
Jennie, Al and a full Volkswagen caddy made their way from Hedge End to Newhaven for a ferry crossing to Dieppe. There was a storm brewing which made our initial departure a little uncomfortable, but we remained ahead of it, with the sailing smoothing out before our arrival. After landing at Dieppe we stopped only for petrol, mixte baguettes and water before heading straight to Chartres.
Chartres is a beautiful cathedral town. The hotel we found was central and the room was exactly what we required. We had a brief walk about before searching for dinner. Looking for food on Sunday evenings is always a challenge and no less so here. There were a couple of expensive places open near to the Cathedral, but most of the restaurants were closed. We ended up in an odd American TV themed restaurant where Al enjoyed a burger and I was served a bucket of Caesar salad. Al found a new beer and bitters combo (Piconbiere) that made his evening.
