Honfleur


Silver Wind docked in Honfleur, which is much more convenient than using the tenders. This is a very attractive town with a photogenic port and an extensive old town. TSH and Diva had a pot of tea by the harbour – almost 10 euros, so similar to drinking in St Marks Square, Venice.
The sea remained flat calm in the channel, through the Dover Straits, across a few miles of North sea and into the Thames estuary. Phones are back on their home networks. Lunch on the sea-day was English-themed, so as well as fish and chips there was chicken tikka masala, the making of which was demonstrated in the morning by the executive chef and an assistant from India.

Packing was easier than usual. No flying, so no weighing of cases and no worry about liquids and sharps in the hand luggage.
