Day 1 in France Cherbourg to Le Rozel
We caught the ferry from Poole to Cherbourg. It was a rough crossing and I was glad I took some kwells and people were vomiting all around us.
Mikes GPS got us out of cherbourg via a big hill which we ended up pushing our bikes up. There were lots of hills coming out of cherbourg and busy narrow roads with large trucks. We turned off and headed for the beach on the quieter roads.
We stopped at a small town but their campsite was a bit dodgy so we decided not to stay there. We headed on another 10 kms and stayed the night at Le Grand Large camping ground. I was really impressed with Mikes ability to ask for things in French, and it was hilarious when they reply to him in French and he can’t understand a thing!
We camped right beside the beach. Huge beaches with lots of sand. too cold here for swimming though – in fact too cold to even stay up and watch the sun set so we seeked the shelther of our tiny tent.
There was not shop or restaurant at the camping ground so luckily we had packed some stuff. We cooked a meal of brown rice and sweet chilli tuna. We forgot to pack plates so we scoffed it out of our sieve! We ate our cereal out of our mugs.
