Anna set off just before twelve to continue her journey to Portugal. This campsite is exceptional when it comes to facilities for cyclists, and as it was her first of her trip we think she'll be in for a surprise as she continues on her way. Also, most of the campsites will close on September 30th. Angela is desperately trying to receive a response from the campsite at Cherbourg. We have three trains to catch tomorrow, the last arrives at Cherbourg at nine-twenty-one in the evening, so we need to be sure we can access the site, after a cycle of about an hour. Before we waved Anna off, John gave her a tip. Stock up on toilet paper before you leave. Most French campsites don't provide it, it's down to you. Fill your boots, pockets and panniers. Angela always does. Around midday, we packed our lunch and cycled out of the town for around an hour in the direction of Basel looking for fungi along the way. John was very keen to find some chicken of the woods to eat in his omelette tomorrow morning. Two large barges passed by us on the canal. Now we have slowed down, we feel tired, but still hungry, eating too much. A coffee stop in the town before shopping for tomorrow's travelling, to ensure we have enough food, then back to our little chalet for one last night. Tomorrow, we will be back in our tent. Let's hope the rain stays away. We feel a little sad to be coming home, but now the weather is changing we know we've had the best of it, so it's probably a good thing.
