Mont Saint-Michel to Cherbourg

Sadly the last 107 miles in France today. 

It was a beautiful morning and we had our last croissants in the sunshine. The drive up the Cotentin peninsula followed the Stage 2 TdF route - I would have loved to have cycled it but not enough time today.

Today is Tashie's birthday and we had a nostalgic lunch at Barneville Carteret where just over 28 years ago, she had her first French holiday and we had our first assiete de fruits de mer.

The Hotel des Isles is now super stylish and does a very good lunch.

We are now on a high speed catamaran heading back to Portsmouth

This has been such a fabulous trip - 852 miles cycled, tonnes of prawns demolished, plentiful patisseries devoured and multiple mozzie bites endured. 

I would love to do it all again tomorrow...
