Monet Gardens

We set off at a reasonable time after packing up our luggage and duvet for one last time, we had time to squeeze in Monet Gardens in Giverny (about 40 mins drive from Louviers).

The Monet gardens were really pretty and the waterlily section was the best part. Tony took lots of photos of the gardens and flowers. It was a shame the waterlillies were not in flower but the gardens were still impressive. The Monet house was a little disappointing but the views in to the gardens were great.

We finished at the gardens and began a 3 hours drive to Calais, en-route we saw some fabulous river Seine views. As we made our way to Calais on the motorway, we were happy to leave the un-even town roads behind us (which seems to be a standard in all French towns). 

As we approached our final peage (toll booth), Tony managed to stop as far as way possible from the machine!! As you can imagine, hanging out half your body to inset the ticket and paying was a sight.

We got to Calais and boarded the Ferry, it was sad to finish this leg of our trip. Next stop is Saturday when we set off to Miami.
