June 6th(D-Day Remembered)- Honfleur, France

   Much like the day in January when we first boarded the ship, today was cool and rainy  in Le Havre. All packed and ready to disembark early tomorrow morning in Southampton, UK, we decided to "waste" the midday hours in the tiny neighboring town of Honfleur, where the tides had kept us from docking. It ended up being one of the most enjoyable excursions of our trip. Our shipmate friends, Lily & George had the same idea and we met on the shuttle bus to town.

The Cidrerie

   A walk in the mist, a quick bite to eat at a "Cidrerie" where hot spiced cider warmed our day and we shared the "Gastronomie du ville".... little fat crepe/pancakes...one savory...with shredded goose and pickles on tender butter lettuces with lemon oil, and one sweet, with bittersweet chocolate and creme fraishe....c'est magnifique!!



What a unexpectedly wonderful way to end an amazing journey.
