Friday
Departed Honfleur after Jo had been for a run and I had done the bicycle trip to a boulangerie. Jo wanted to buy some new running shoes so we planned to track down the Decathlon store on the outskirts of Dieppe.
We had noticed that water was pouring out of the back of the van whenever we negotiated a left turn. I tracked it down to the grey waste overflow and it only happened when the tank was more than half full. We weren't sure if this was normal but I wanted to stop at an aire to empty the tank. We found a lovely one by the river at St. Nicholas De Bliquetuit but unfortunately the service points were all closed. Had coffee there though before pushing on.
Found Decathlon easily for once. Purchased shoes - much cheaper than home!
We drove down to the port and had lunch parked at the beachfront aire before going to the boat. Very sad that our first foreign adventure with Frank was coming to an end!!

Boat journey home, drive from Newhaven to Winchcombe, very tired, dull dull dull. Got home about 0115, straight to bed.

Once the disappointment of the road trip ending subsided, we did realise what a fantastic place we live in - it was nice to be home!
Next Jo Mark and Frank adventure only 5 weeks away!
Honfleur - Dieppe 87 miles
Newhaven - Home 156 miles
