We had been told that Cherbourg was a small grubby port town, but we found it anything but!
We ventured off the ferry (always remembering to drive on the right hand side) and went straight for the town centre.
What a wonderful surprise. The shopping was fabulous, very quaint, very orderly, styley, tidy and all in all very pleasant (compared to Britain) - the food, the flowers, the magazine shops, the children's shops, the cafes, the clothes shops, mmmmmm - magnifique!!! (shame we don't have any money) I did purchase some french house magazines. We bought a baquette, some raspberry tarts and headed back to the car to drive south (toward Paris)!

FRANCE

And so to France!

We are not working anymore - our days are free, so we chose Tuesday 9th Sept to head over to France from Poole on the Condor Ferry. This is Rob at 7.00am having his breakfast - we were extremely excited here - this is our first ever experience with France - it was amazing!! (Of course it was raining)

Went to Salisbury again last weekend - couldn't resist adding some photos!
This is a sculpture called "Madonna Walking"1998, with Cathedral backdrop - absolutely awesome place!
