Kevnjan's new adventure.

Sun. 19th. May. Well, that's the end of another adventure. Here we are back in England, over a week earlier than we had planned. We arrived on Monday night and spent the night at our old haunt in Netley. Things conspired to get us home earlier, Jan had a sudden hospital appointment turn up, Abbey's confirmation was on Wednesday and, sadly, an aunt died and I want to attend the funeral. As it turns out, the weather was hardly made for beach hopping up the French coast and although it's no better here, we don't expect much more. We spent our last weekend in France at Honfleur, a pretty town on the Seine estuary and spent a pleasant Sunday wandering around and enjoying the sights, the sun shone and it was warm enough to sit out and enjoy a coffee. Monday we allowed the French to rip us off just one more time for €11 to cross two bridges across the estuary to Le Havre. Always makes it easier to leave!! So there we are, it seems like we only just started and it's over already. I must say, Spain and Portugal gave us a much warmer winter than Italy, I think that probably Italy wins on the culture and architecture front. We've been very lucky, met some wonderful people, eaten some great food and drunk some delicious (cheap) wines and whisky. Can't tell you how many miles we've done, who cares? Pictures of Honfleur quayside, Sunday afternoon. Think we'll do it again later in the year, already have plans in place to go to Morocco in January with some new friends found in Portugal. So now it's time to catch up with friends and family back home. Closing down for the summer but watch this space, could be back in September. Love to all, Kevin.
