27th of May. Off to Dieppe then the UK

We love France but the language barrier is a bit of a problem and we were looking forward to getting to the UK where it all would be a bit easier getting around. I can't really fault the French people and we have found them really helpful. We decided to walk to Dieppe but after googling the walk we decided that too much of it was through farm land. So off to the train station to catch a train to Dieppe then the ferry to the UK. This is the hotel we stayed at in Rouen.

This is me window shopping on the way to the train station. They must have been made for tourists cause the French girls that Annette pointed out to me would not fill them all that well.

Off on the train and the country along the way was very pretty. If the track had been along here we would have walked for sure. Arrived in Dieppe in no time to find us in the middle of a strike march. Flares going off, that sort of stuff. Made our way around them and left our bags at the police station and off to have a look around before the ferry ride.

The town has a large harbour, all boats and large buildings on one side. Sort of pretty in a tourist type way.

Had a walk along the foreshore and this town must be on the exact opposite side of the world to Coleraine.

This was their oldest building and I believed them. It is right in the middle of town.

On the Ferry and a photo of the coast line.

A sad goodbye to France.

Good ferry ride across the channel. Pretty flat. Before we left I had been reading about the ferries sinking and one of them had a 9 degree lean and the captain had ignored it. Check out the level of the sea on the different sides of our ferry. I was trying not to work out the degree.

I'm sitting dead in the middle. You work it out.
Arrived at New Haven late and walked to a motel we had pre booked. Oh, they sort of speak English here.
