Our last view of France

There she goes, disappearing into the distance as we sail out of Caen.
Home in six hours after a pretty good holiday.

Thanks for reading, more when I'm next on holiday. Adios.

Ferry port, Caen/Ouistreham

The facilities at Caen are not very special. Or, in other words,
they're similar to a motorway service station in the UK; grotty.

Brick bridge in Montauban

If you want to build a bridge from brick, this is the wah to do it.

A device for lifting cows, possibly

I can't be certain but I think this is a device for lifting cows.
Exactly why this might be necessary is unclear.

The last supper; Cormery on the Loire

Our last night in France finds us in Esvres sur Indre, a stone's throw
from Tours and within striking distance of Caen for the ferry home.
The B&B took some finding but we're here (http://maps.google.com/?q=47.2833%2C0.7877
) now and it's pretty good.

Just returned from dinner in nearby Cormery at Auberges du Mail. Good
food and good value; recommended.

And so ends our time in the Dordogne

And our time in the Dordogne ends with a relaxed sunny day where
inactivity has been our most eagerly pursued objective and laziness
our most fervent desire; in both of these we succeeded.

Tomorrow we start the long trip home, stopping overnight near Tours
before heading on Monday for Caen (I think). England beckons, and we
come.

Random river with collapsing buildings

This was taken from a bridge over the Dordogne, so the river is
probably the Dordogne (geography isn't my strong suit).
