After a bit of a wet and wild night, we awoke to another grey one, which was forecast to become wet later, so we didn’t hang around and soon made our way down to the village of Cap Levi and it’s picturesque little harbour…

A short hop took us to Anse (Cove) du Brick but the tide was high and lumpy with no beach visible….

A little further down the road the heavens opened so we pulled into a seaside car park and watched what I thought was a gig rowing race out at sea but what turned out to be 6 man kayak racing – who knew? From the warmth and shelter of the van with a coffee and croissant- when in France.

As the rain eased we popped down into Port du Becquet and took the opportunity for a quick walk along Plage du Becquet and on to Plage de Collignon….

As the beach ran out at the mouth of the entrance to the Port of Cherbourg we about turned at the outer harbour wall and made it back to the van just as the heavens opened again…

As the rains eased a little we decided to make a dash for inland (avoiding Cherbourg) to the small village of Bricquebec-en-Cotentin where we have booked a Camping Car Park Aire for the night and give in to that Sunday feeling.

Thoughts of the day:

• With the rain came that positively Autumn feeling and I won’t lie but I was cold in my sandals and shorts and as we are on electric hook up – the heating is on! But I’m not giving in just yet as we start to head south tomorrow
• I think I might have to admit defeat and buy a French data only sim for the router as I don’t seem to be able to get a strong enough signal on my phone to hot spot
• French bread and fresh pastries are really very good…
