Suffice to say, I had no problem sleeping on
Sunday night, although I did wake up just after 7 am. Once all three of us were
up and about, we headed up to the bar Le Havane for a final breakfast at Le Mans
in 2013, purchasing some goodies for madame back at the hotel while we were up
there at the shops.
I don't recall now when we actually left Le Mans
for the journey home. Obviously we packed our bags and said our farewells
for another year to our ever-helpful and pleasant hosts, and set off on the
journey back to Le Havre.
James was very keen that Tony should have the same
experience as we had had on the way to Le Mans in 2012, so we detoured to sample
the delights again of the little ferry at
Bac de Quillebeuf.
As we headed into Le Havre, it was a case of trying to use James'
satnav to locate a supermarket for the pre-journey home shopping - a task which
always seems to be much harder than it should be! But we made it
eventually. By 4.10 pm we were into the queue for the 5 pm ferry back to
Portsmouth.
I'd love a fiver for every time I've said
'It was an uneventful journey on the ferry', but that's exactly what it was.
We had a meal in the restaurant and docked and left the ferry just before 10 pm,
UK-time. My good friend Ian again kindly came and picked me up and took me
home. I finally rolled in around midnight.
