We got a front row view of all the port ferry activity, huge trucks, containers being loaded on by small swivel cabs engines that can reverse the huge containers but once swivelled looks like they are pushing it on. All shapes and sizes of cars....ohhhh a Porche ....we are in good company haha.
Our turn to drive on and up a r.r.r.a.a.m.m.p.p. very juddery then round a corner and tucked in amongst boats and other motorhomes.
We found our cabin, good size central window, we went up on deck to explore and there was a really nice welcome with free Tapas and Sangria.
The sun was shining as we sailed out of Portsmouth into the setting sun, a grand finale to our UK adventures as we now head to Santander for our last leg of our retirement adventures.
The TV was showing the Catalonia Independence crisis in Barcelona....glad we are up North away from it all.
We are on the Cap Finistere, the smallest of the French Brittany ferries, there are 2 restaurants both with identical menu's and a cafe that you can buy a meal and heat it up in the microwave. We opted for the restaurant with the waiter service, same price as the other more casual dining area. Very nice 2 course meal £20 I had seafood entre with a main of crab and linguistine lasagne in creamy sauce Tony had duck entre and main, yummy treat.
Into the main bar for a quiz night got 2nd, followed by bingo no where near ticking all the numbers, never mind it was a bit of fun.
A very smooth crossing, hardly know you were moving.
