Saturday Cycle

After weeks of waiting the sun finally came back out this weekend, so we took the opportunity to go for a cycle. We hired bikes and decided to go along the canal towards the port, thinking it would take about an hour. Three hours later we arrived at the port, after visiting hidden churches and making friends with the ducks, and we just had time for a picnic by the sea before heading back. Thankfully it only took just over an hour to get back to town, as we knew the way and didn't have to stop to admire the view. We cycled 29km in the beautiful sunshine, so after a well earned drink I happily spent the evening resting my legs in bed.

This Week

This week seems to have involved a lot of eating. Monday started with dinner out for a friend's birthday, and on Tuesday we had lunch to celebrate again. The weather had been terrible for most of the week, with heavy rain and even a thunder storm, so I stayed inside watching terrible tv - I never knew Gossip Girl would be so gripping! - made far more exciting by a skype with the besties. With the first sign of sunshine on Friday we headed to the Chateau in the evening for pizzas and cider on the grass, and watched the sun go down behind the church. Saturday was a beautiful day, so we took a bike ride along the canal. I now plan to spend the whole of Sunday morning in bed so my legs can recover, before heading to a literary festival in the afternoon.

This Week

 This week started with a wet and grey day exploring Honfleur again, and the cliffs at Etretat, which were beautiful despite the terrible weather. We managed to make the most of the small amount of sunshine we had with crêpes and pink cider on the terrace, and a little trip on the 'Petit Train' around the town.
