May 3 Honfleur on a rainy day

Looking down at Honfleur from near our hotel


Today we had another nice breakfast at the hotel. 


Then we took off for the big beach below Honfleur where the is the Garden of Personalities with heads/busts of famous people associated with Honfleur. We got about a mile into our walk when the heavens opened up and it bucketed rain.
Tanker going by while we huddled under a tree trying to be out of the rain, but we got soaked!


We had no choice but to walk back and got completely soaked. It was not too cold (low 60s) and no harm done. 


Before the downpour!

We sat in the car and warmed up and then drove to Pennedepie, a small village outside of Honfleur where we found an Argentinian bistro, Moulin St Georges. Mark had a huge burger with fries and Barbara had 3 tapas. All were good, not spoiled by our wet legs and feet.

Jecca arrived last night in Portsmouth and today is taking 3 different trains to St. Ives where she will start her hike on the Coastal Path in Cornwall. Fingers crossed she won't get much rain.
