Wet this morning so we got up, had breakfast and hit the road towards Cherbourg in search of Decathlon. As always we spent ages driving round following fleeting signs to our destination. One minute a sign, and then nothing - but that seems to be the French way. We found it eventually and bought some sports kit for Jo and a posh new fleece for me.
Then it was back to St. Vaast La Hougue, an aire that we had rejected last night. The weather was a bit better and somehow it all looked much nicer than last night. Amelia crashed in the van , Jo and I went out for a cycle around the harbour, looked at the oyster beds and checked out the fish restaurant.
After a couple of hours chilling in the van we went for dinner and a walk. Best fish and chips ever!!! And it was a beautiful evening for a walk round the harbourside.
Lesson learned - don't judge a town by the immediate surroundings of the aire!
Aire €7.50.
Dinner for 3 with wine €45.00
86 miles.
