It’s hard to believe that a week ago I arrived in London and now I’m sitting in Cherbourg, France at the start of this year’s European Adventure.
A new discovery in London was the Regent Park Outdoor Theatre only a short walk from Baker Street Station. You can’t miss it there is a statue of Sherlock Holmes stands there.
My time in London was filled in by my sister (and cultural guide) and collecting and preparing the Mighty Breva for this year’s 3 month trip across Europe.
I took the ferry from Poole to Cherbourg. Poole is the second largest natural harbour in the world after Sydney Harbour and there are some great views sailing out on the ferry.
It was a smooth crossing to Cherbourg and it didn’t seem long till France was in site.
You do get a special welcome when you arrive in France on Bastille Day.
The small town orchestra come out to play.
And when finally gets dark around 11pm, the fireworks fill the sky.
Cherbourg is my favourite gateway port into France. It’s a charming city with a rich maritime history. Also beautiful seafood and loads of that great European moto culture!
Je ne suis pas allée à Londres depuis bien longtemps, voilà un article qui me fait rêver
Clever you arriving in France on Bastille Day.
They put on fireworks for your arrival – I’m impressed! Looking forward to future instalments of this year’s adventure!
Poole to Cherbourg, a ferry that I have taken many times. Only a quick ride from Cherbourg to the Dordogne by Ducati.
Are you down this way over the next weeks?
Yes it was an easy ride to the Dordogne on the Guzzi. And beyond. Now in Corsica head to Sardinia on this afternoons ferry. Hope all is well with you
All is good. We toured Corsica for a week on the bikes and loved the place.
Yes sure is beautiful, beaches, scenery and food
