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.
