Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary so we’re going away for a few days in order to enjoy it. Taking the fast catamaran service from Portsmouth to Cherbourg, only takes 3 hours and with an 08:00 departure time delivers you nicely in time for lunch. I’ve booked a hotel a bit further down the peninsula both because it looks good (an old castle) and that there is Michelin starred restaurant very nearby – that’s eating taken care of. I think we’ll drive down to Mont St Michel one day because Essy’s never been there. I love the first views you get of Mont St Michel, in the distance, in a beautiful bay. However, climbing up the narrow main street is an entirely different matter because it’s crammed with tacky souvenir shops and everything is dedicated to the parting of the tourist and his money! Mont St Michel is best seen from about 2 or 3 miles away. Apart from that day out I think we’ll just be taking it easy. Will report back on the trip next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
