After my adventures in the hotel with the lights going out, I didn’t expect anything else as we had changed address. The TV in my room going on at 3am was not something I bargained for. Very mysterious, especially as the remote control was on a table on the other side of the room. 👻

This morning, off to Monet’s garden at Giverny. I can recommend doing what we did – buying the first ticket of the day online and then getting there early. They let us in around 9.15 when officially they didn’t open until 9.30. By 10.30 the place was heaving. Although the water lilies weren’t in flower, I shall let the pictures speak for themselves.

Apologies if this turns up later than expected but the hotel Wi-Fi is not letting me upload photos.

In the afternoon (after costly coffee and cake – Brexit and the subsequent devaluation of the £ means that everything is more expensive), off to Fecamp. We were supposed to go to Etretat but didn’t when it proved to be heaving with market and tourists. This meant we missed the Jardins d’Etretat as well. Next time maybe.

In Fecamp, I had the strangest pizza I have ever had. It was supposed to be a Pizza Regina – ham mushrooms and tomato but I got a mushroom one with two slices of processed ham neatly folded on. We had an ice cream as well to wash it down.

In the evening, we were off to our hotel in Coursuelles sur Mer Disappointing to find out we were in the annex on a street not overlooking the sea, but the joys of a two storey bedroom overcame that.
