A quick ride in fine weather brought me to Ouistreham, the Caen port:
Lattitude=49.28465
Longitude=-0.24896
I had time for a leisurely lunch and then onward ho.
PS: Weird thing that happened on the ferry. Halfway across, my phone announced “Welcome to Malta”. A couple I was chatting with explained that his happens quite a lot. Bad technology, rather than a worm-hole 😉
