Today after work we set off one year later than planned
for our holiday by bike along the west coast of France. We
left the village bang on time on a mostly empty train, which
managed to take twice as long as it should to travel the
12 km to town for our first connection. Basically it arrived
just outside Basingstoke, then stopped and waited for nearly
10 minutes before rolling into the station, so we missed our
planned direct connection and had to settle for a change of
train at Winchester. As a result of the shenanigans we were
later than planned arriving at the ferry port and were one
of the last to board the ferry.
As stresful as it all was, in the end no harm was done and
we were also sure no one put anything on top of our bikes,
being the last to be stowed in the Brittany Ferries "bike
shed". The ferry set off in the gathering dark of Portsmouth
and after taking a few pictures we retired to our cabin for
dinner (pre-packed) and a sleep.
