LISBON TO LE HAVRE

LE HAVRE (France) – Well after being blessed with the most amazing weather for most of the trip, our last port of call before disembarking was grey and rainy. Many of the ship's passengers were doing trips into Paris today but as we will be spending time there in a few weeks time, we again just mozied around on foot. Not a great deal to see in town as it was Saturday afternoon and many of the shops were closed but we did find a luggage shop open and were able to buy 'another' bag despite the language barrier. We then ventured into a café and bought coffees and cakes (oh it's going to be fun dealing the French lingo when we get there!!!) We did our final pack and began farewelling so many friends we met whilst we were on board, lots of lovely friendships made and so many good memories… Before we knew it, we were enjoying our last supper with our great dinner mates and wonderful waiters – we'll miss them all so much.
