6/6 - Day 14 – miles
cycled = 2, total so far 409
I woke at 6.45 to light drizzle, which only lasted for 15
minutes or so. I had tea (nothing for
breakfast) and packed up to join John and Dawn for the short ride to the ferry
terminal and a 9.30 departure.

I had croissants and coffee at the ferry terminal café –
croissants are a hard habit to break, before going through passport control. Once through passport control I was sniffed
by a drugs dog – I’m not quite sure what it made of me, I’m surprised it didn’t
pass out, before joining a long queue of traffic.
After a few minutes I realised that Id’ joined the queue of vehicles that were just arriving – I nearly re entered St Malo – I even managed to get lost on the last 500 yards of French soil.

I boarded the ferry, left my bike in the cargo hold and
went up on deck to wave goodbye to France.
It had been a great couple of weeks.
The crossing home was super smooth and I arrived back in Portsmouth
on time. The whole ferry experience added to the trip and I would thoroughly recommend
Brittany Ferries.
