The quest for dinner yesterday evening proved to be a difficult one! The Brasserie whose web site said it was open had a notice on the door saying Ferme Exceptionelle. A further two were open but only for drinks and after sitting down at a rather strange place called Dolly’s we decided it was not for us. We were informed by the waiter at one of the Brasseries that Le Bouchon du Vaugueux was definite open and we found it fairly quickly. We turned out to be the only customers but were served a good tagine and desserts. Monday night in Caen is not a lively time!
We awake at the appointed hour and discovered that our car was blocked in which was something we had been concerned about as it was a small car park. Reception was closed but the LLW located an employee who quickly called the boss and luckily he had the keys to the offending vehicle and it was swiftly moved to let us out.
It was a change to be driving in the dark and exiting Caen was quite tricky but once out of the City it was an easy drive to the ferry port at Ouistreham. The ferry left on time and we quickly located the restaurant for breakfast. A lovely sunny morning as we left France but soon it clouded over and the forecast suggests it will be similar when we arrive at Portsmouth. After almost two weeks of near perfect weather we can hardly complain
