Yesterday was a wet and dreary day. We were very grateful that our day at the beaches was lovely and dry and since there is nothing you can do about the weather, you just go with the flow.
We were cruising from Rouen back to LePecq outside of Paris with a short stop in the little town of Les Andelys. It rained all day so we were not able to enjoy the sun deck as we cruised.
When the ship docked a few of us got off, rain pants, jackets and umbrellas and went to see the tiny town. A few brave souls followed the guides up the hill to the ruins of the Chateau Gaillard, a fortress built by Richard the Lionheart back in the 12 century. On a clear day you have wonderful views of the river from the top of the hill. Unfortunately for us the views were obscured by low clouds and rain.
Afternoon tea was served on board the ship with lovely French coffee which warmed our chilled bones. The Captain's farewell dinner was last night and today is our last full day. Some of us are going back into Paris, others have left for Versailles, some are doing an afternoon excursion to Napoleon's Chateau de Malmaison and some are doing Paris by night this evening. All of us will be packing at some point today because our luggage needs to be outside our room at 4:30am and we leave the ship at 5:30 to begin our journey home. All being well Halifax folks will be home at 4:35 tomorrow afternoon.
