Wednesday 18th. Lovely villages around Bayeux and ferry back from Ouistreham

Poor weather as we left Cancale but as we came close to Bayeux it improved and we left the Route Nationale, put down the roof and enjoyed a leisurely drive through some lovely villages around Bayeux including Cerisy la Foret and Le Molay Littry.

We had stayed at the Hotel Du Commerce in the latter village many years ago with Hilda, Sadie and Elsie whilst visiting Bayeux and the Tapestry. The LLW never ceases to remind me that on one occasion I was determined to eat out (I'm not normally a fan of eating in hotels) only to be persuaded otherwise and we had the best Cote de Boeuf ever - well what do I know!

Bayeux was out lunchtime stop and we enjoyed  a wander around the town which is as lovely as ever

We still had plenty of time before our ferry so meandered through the countryside and stopped at a lovely village called Creully which had a beautifully restored castle.
